SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 9
Resume of the Lawn Tennis Season of 1915
By F. B. Alexander.
Though suffering from the want of international interest, owing to the
European war and consequently the lack of competition for the Davis Cup,
the tennis season of 1915 was undoubtedly the greatest of the game in the
United States. The wonderful tennis played the year before in the ties for the
Davis Cup, the fact that the name of McLoughlin was on the tip of every
tongue, and the final wresting of his laurels by R. N. Williams, 2nd, in the
National Championships at Newport, all combined to give tennis the greatest
boost, in the way of publicity, that its admirers could wish for.
The result in the early spring was very apparent. Public grounds, new clubs
and private courts sprung up like the proverbial mushrooms, from California
to Maine, and many scoffers who had heretofore considered tennis child's play
were fairly driven to the courts, when aching muscles soon proved to them the
tremendous exercise to be derived from it.
HDD
Early negotiations between the Pacific Coast Tennis Association and the
United States National Lawn Tennis Association resulted in the arrangement
of an Eastern team being sent to the Panama-Pacific Exposition to take part
in the tournament held in conjunction with the fair. A special match between
the East and West was arranged at the same place. This, and the return
match held at the West Side Tennis Club, after the National Championships
were over, did much to take the place of the Davis Cup competitions the year
before, though, of coul-se, the international flavor was not in evidence.
In the first East-West match at the fair, the Easterners proved conclusively
that they were not to be compared to their Western brothers when playing on
asphalt courts. The team, composed of R. N. Williams, 2nd, captain ; G. M.
Church, W. M. Washburn and Dean Mathey, lost three out of four singles and
two out of two doubles against M. E. McLoughlin, J. R. Strachan, W. M. John-
ston and T. C. Bundy. Mathey accounting for one singles against Bundy.
In the return match in the East, the Eastern team, composed of R. N.
Williams, 2nd, captain ; K. H. Behr, N. W. Niles, T. R. Pell and W. M. Wash-
burn, took three out of four singles and one out of two doubles from M. E.
McLoughlin, W. M. Johnston, C. J. Griffin, T. C. Bundy and Ward Dawson,
the series thus becoming a tie, with the edge in favor of the West by a score
of 7-5. The lesson to be drawn from these contests is that tennis on turf and
on asphalt are two entirely different games, from an expert standpoint.
D D D
California won back the national honors in the person of William M. John-
ston, who finally, after two years of competition in the East, fulfilled the
prophecies of his admirers by not only winning the title but during the tour-
nament defeating the big three, namely, R. N. Williams, 2nd, M. E. McLoughlin
and K. H. Behr, to say nothing of C. J. Griffin, his teammate. His tennis was
of sound but brilliant variety, and his court generalship, knowledge of the

game and sizing up of his opponents worthy of special mention. This does not
in any sense of the word mean that he actually outclassed the other three, but
simply that in the National Championships he was the better player and
deserved his title.
R. N. Williams, 2d. who was the logical choice before the tournament started,
performed in his usual brilliant and careless manner until he met Johnston,
where he went down to defeat in five sets. It is just possible that Williams
went into this match with a little over-confidence, as he seemed for the past
two years to have had Johnston's "number," and only a short time previously
had defeated him at Newport. Be that as it may, he played great tennis in
that match, and only greater tennis defeated him.
McLoughlin, throughout the season in the East, did not begin to show his
form of the year before. He seemed actually sluggish on the court. While
not desiring to detract one whit from Behr's excellent performance at Sea-
bright when he defeated McLoughlin, it would be hard to imagine a man last
season entering a tournament with but little practice and taking the measure
of the great "Comet." ^ o u • v,* «*t.
The invitation tournament at Newport was a repetition of Seabnght, wltn
Williams in the role of conqueror, and N. W. Niles, in one of the earlier rounds,
playing the "Comet" to a standstill.
At Forest Hills, in the National Championships, McLoughlin found himself
on the easy side of the draw and forged his way to the finals without much
to worry him. There, against W. M. Johnston, the new champion, he at times
gave flashes of his former speed and, particularly, at critical times did he show
some of the brilliancy and determination of his international play of the
previous season. His relapses were too frequent, however, to regain the title.
To the people who are debating the cause of this seeming slump, two explana-
tions have been put forward. The first, that the tremendous energy McLough-
lin has put into his game since he was a small boy has used him up to that
extent that it has taken away from him that consistent superlative speed, if it
may be called so. which made him a terror to his opponents and made his net
game, in conjunction with his service, next to impossible to handle. The
other, that throughout the summer of 1915 he played more in the back of the
court than ever before and seemed to be continuously practising his ground
strokes in order to be prepared against the time when age and stiffening mus-
cles would prevent those speedy rushes to the net and conservation of energy
become a necessity. To my mind the latter reason is untenable, for as he
might do this in minor events, he certainly would put forward all his energy
to the capture of the trophy on which he needed only one more win to have it
become his property for all time. The first I can hardly hold tenable. It
would be difficult to apply to a man only twenty-seven years of age. One must
look further for the seeming explanation of a lessening of power in a man
who keeps in the best of training and takes the best care of himself.
Karl Behr's annual comeback is worthy of mention, he having played some
excellent tennis, and. for one who has but little time to devote to the game,
his showing was much beyond the ordinary. Johnston had to play some of his
best tennis to defeat him in the National Championships, and Behr seemed
still endowed with that unwonted energy and "bulldog" determination which
bas always been his piece de resistance in the past.
12 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
It was regrettable that John R. Strachan of California was unable, on
account of business, to play in the East. From all accounts he would undoubt*
edly have taken a place among the first five.
The veterans T. R. Pell and N. W. Niles both played a better brand of
game than the season before. G. M. Church, of whom much was expected on
account of his defeat of Williams in the Intercollegijftes of 1914. spent most
of his summer in the West, and upon his return, just before the National
Championships, found the time too short to become used to the difference in
climate and conditions of play.
W. M. Washburn played some excellent and some indifferent tennis.
D D D
One of the most interesting developments of the season was the increase in
interest among the younger element in the East. Under the leadership of the
West Side Tennis Club, many other organizations held tournaments for boys
under eighteen years of age, and the result was the uncovering of an almost
unbelievable amount of talent among the juniors. The Metropolitan Junior
Championships, held just after the National Championships, for the Goddard
Weld Saunders Bowl, attracted one hundred and eight entries in the singles.
Among the boys worthy of mention, besides Charles S. Garland, the sixteen-
year-old Pittsburgh wonder, who was in a class by himself, were Elliott
Binzen, the Fordham University player ; Herbert Forster of Yonkers ; George
P. Throckmorton of Elizabeth. N. J., brother of Harold A. Throckmorton.
National Interscholastic Champion ; H. P. Guiler of the West Side Tennis Club
and St. Paul's School ; L. M. Banks of Brooklyn, and Irving C. Plitt of Long
Island. Cecil Donaldson of Brooklyn provided a lot of interest with his
sterling play, considering he was only fourteen years of age. Reports of
other junior tournaments from every part of the country conclusively show
that the ranks of the tennis players who have, gradually been withdrawing
from active competition will be amply replenished.

No new teams of any consequence made their appearance and the United
States still remained in the unique position of having no really high grade
combination. True. W. M. Johnston and C. J. Grifiin wrested the champion-
ship away from M. E. McLoughlin and T. C. Bundy. but when one takes into
consideration that Bundy had only four days' practice on turf during the
season and the aforementioned slump of McLoughlin. their five-set match was
not much to boast about. Bundy's bit of sportsmanship in defending the title,
though badly out of condition, is another instance of the attitude of the
American tennis player.

The increased interest in the game shown by the women was due in a
large part to the appearance of Miss Molla Bjurstedt. the Norwegian player,
and Mrs. George W. Wightman, formerly Miss Hazel Hotchkiss. in tournament
competition. Miss Bjurstedt carried off the honors at three out of the four
meetings and won the women's championship.
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 13
More interest was also taken in the mixed doubles, the untiring efforts of
Mrs. Barger-Wallach in urging the better players to take part in special invi-
tation events of this character having its effect.

The sad condition of European affairs prevented any of the big three con-
tinental championships being held. Great Britain. France. Germany, in fact,
all of the v/arring nations canceled their meetings. Australia alone ran off
the Australasian championships and the account received in America was very
meager. Naturally enough, the sad death of Anthony F. Wilding and the
departure of Norman E. Brookes for the front robbed the tournament of much
of its interest.
D D D
The tremendous growth of the game in the United States was not only
reflected in the increased number of players and spectators but also in the
better management of the tournaments. The standard of umpiring and lining
was far ahead of the season before. The players themselves seemed to realize
that if they desired to have competent officials for their own matches they
must do as they would be done by and volunteer their services when not
engaged in playing.
At the present writing it seems but fair to predict that again during the
season of 1916 tennis interest will be wholly centered in the United States
and that wo will have to act as the guardians of the morals of the game,
if such an expression is allowable. This, as the game grows in popularity,
becomes a harder and heavier responsibility, for we must show the European
nations after the conflict is over that we have been good guardians of that
to which we have fallen. heir.

Umpiring and Lining
By Edward C. Conlin.
[Mr. Conlin is a life member of the West Side Tennis Club of New York. Among
■other biy matt-hes, he umpired in the Davis Cup of 1913-1914 and the finals of the
1915 National Singles and Doubles. — Editor.]
All the writers on lawn tennis- tell us that to become good players the
first and most important thing to do is to "Keep your eye on the ball."
To do good umpiring and lining, "Keep your eye on the ball" is just
as much the golden lule. Couple this with concentration on the match that
you are umpiring and you will do satisfactory work on any match at which
you officiate.
To explain the handling of a Davis Cup series or a National Championship
is perhaps the best method by which to describe proper umpiring, lining and
management of a match, it being borne in mind that the suggestions made
can be modified in accordance with the importance of the contest and the
number of officials available.
The seat of the umpire's chair is about six feet from the ground, with a
shelf about two feet from the ground placed inside the four supports of the
chair. This shelf is used by the players as a place for extra rackets or
anything else that they may want, such as rosin, extra shoelaces, sawdust
(to dry their racket hands), adhesive tape, whatever they may want to drink,
lemons halved to cleanse their mouths, and plenty of towels. An extra supply
of balls should also be kept there. Under the chair and on the ground there
should be two buckets of ice water for the players to bathe their faces and
heads if it is necessary.
Seventeen chairs for doubles, thirteen for singles — a folding wooden chair
is the best — are placed in their proper stations, care being given to see that
they are a sufficient distance from the lines to be well out of the players' way.
■One of these chairs is for the net umpire, two are for the foot-fault umpire,
and the remainder for the linesmen, of whom there are ten for a single
match and fourteen for doubles. Another chair is placed alongside of the
umpire's stand, to be occupied by an assistant scorer, who acts as a checker
should the umpire become confused in his scoring.
Near the court, in a position of advantage, is placed still another chair for
the referee of the tournament, so that he may see the play and be immediately
available in case the players should appeal to him from the umpire's decision,
•or should he be called upon for any of the decisions that the rules make it his
duty to give.
All these chairs should be painted a dark green and numbered and a
corresponding n amber should be given to each official by the referee, so that
the umpires and linesmen may find their stations without confusion.
It is most important for the proper conduct of a match that with the excep-
tion of the players, the ball boys, and the officials named above, no other
persons should be permitted inside the enclosure.
The umpire's first duty upon coming to the court is to measure the height
of the net at the center and at the posts with the measuring stick, to see if
it is in accordance with the rules. He should then make sure that all his
linesmen's and umpires' chairs are in position, and that his own chair is
properly placed — centered to the net post, and about five feet away from it.
The net should also be looked over to see that it is perfect and that there
are no holes to let the ball through.
16 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
Attention to all these details goes to prevent any possible delays while
the match is being played, for such delays are bad for the contestants and
are not enjoyed by the gallery.
While the players are warming up, the umpire should give one last look
around to see that all his linesimen and umpires are at their stations and that
everything else is in readiness. Then he should climb into his chair.
After giving the players a reasonable length of time to warm up, he should
ask them if they are ready. Upon receiving an affirmative reply, he should
call:
"Linesmen ready? Players ready?"
If they are, there follows the call, "Play !" — and your match is on.
Just before the player first serving gets into position, the umpire should
announce :
"Mr. So-and-so serving."
Each player, as he serves for the first time, should be similarly announced.
Rather than attempt to explain in a narrative way the further duties of
the umpires and linesmen, it seems that they can be better given in the discon-
nected form of the following paragraphs :
At least once a year every player, and anyone who is going to fill the
position of umpire, or linesman, should read in the Axntal the "Laws of
Lawn Tennis," "Cases and Decisions" and "Regulations for the Management
of Tournaments." It will also do no harm to read "Regulations for the
International Lawn Tennis Association Davis Cup."
The umpire should always remember that he is a sort of connecting link
between the match and the gallery. He should announce his decisions and
the score promptly and with decision, and in a good, loud voice, so that all can
hear. He should be careful not to speak while the gallery is applauding,
but should wait until the applause is finished. He should also — this is an
especially important point — be most careful not to call the score while a
player is serving, or while the ball is in play.
One of the greatest benefits both to players and to spectators is for
linesmen and foot-fault umpires to give their decisions in a voice that all
can hear.
The umpire should instantaneously repeat the decision of the linesmen and
foot-fault umpire. This is by far the best method to follow, as it is next
to impossible to obtain a full corps of officials all of whom will announce their
decisions loudly enough for everyone to hear.
Good ball boys are a great help to an umpire and a joy to the players.
They can be made proficient only by careful training under a competent
instructor. At a match, the umpire must watch the court and see that it is
kept clear of balls. Whenever he sees a ball that has been overlooked by a
boy, he should quickly call his attention to it. The ball boy must never go
on a court while the ball is in play.
In giving the game or set score, always call the server first. For example :
"The games are one to four — Mr. So-and-so leads." First set.
"The sets are two to one — Mr. So-and-so leading."
The set score should be announced at the end of each set, and also during
the playing of a set, say, about once every four games.
The umpire should always keep tally on a score card. It is dangerous to
try to keep it in your head. Cards for this purpose can be had for a very
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 17
small amount of moneJ^ A good score card will be found on the inside of
the Spalding ball box cover.
There are so many methods of keeping score that a most interesting article
could be written on this subject. For the present it is enough to suggest
that you should adopt whatever method you find most suitable to your use.
Where the galleries are large, it is a good plan to instruct each linesman,
as he calls '-out" or "fault," to signify his decision with a motion of his arm.
Frequently the applause is so great that the linesman's voice cannot be heard ;
by the umpire. i
It has been found a most excellent plan, where a player obstructs the
view of a linesman, to have the latter immediately call. "Can't see it," and
then to have the umpire make the decision if the ball is out.
It is the duty of the umpire to note the time that the players leave the
court for their "rest period," He should go off the court with them, and keep
them posted as to how much of their seven minutes has elapsed. He must
see that they are back on the court when the time is up.
Where a full corps of linesmen cannot be obtained, a very good plan to
follow is to have a foot-fault umpire and one man on each side of the net,
on the side of the court that is opposite the rmpire's chair. With this
arrangement and good men, no match will suffer, o far as decisions go.
In a match where there is just an umpire and no other officials, it should
be arranged with the players that should they obstruct the umpire's view of
the ball he shall say, "Call it," and the ball shall be played on their decision.
Once a decision is made on a point, it should not be played over unless
the rules so provide. This must be lived up to.
The only duty of the Net Umpire is to call balls that go through the net.
Lets should be called by the umpire, who is in a better position to make
these decisions.
Immediately at the conclusion of a match the umpire must turn in the
score to the man in charge of the score board.
The linesman has only one decision to make, and that is either "Out" or
"Fault." He can hardly make his announcements too loud.
He must keep his eye on the ball all the time it is in play. "Eyes on
the ball, and nowhere else," should be his slogan.
If he is asked by the umpire whether a ball is good, his answer must be
prompt and decisive. He should sit quietly at his station, and remain
as motionless as possible, as any movement annoys the players. ;
A linesman must not under any circumstances leave his station without the!
permission of the umpire and until another linesman has been put In his place.,
Foot-fault umpires should be most carefully chosen, and should be thoroughly]
conversant with the foot-fault rule. In the early days of a tournament, when
on account of the number of matches it is next to impossible to have a full
corps of foot-fault umpires, it is a good plan to have four or five good men
roaming around the courts, to watch the players and call foot-faults where
necessary.
Foot-fault umpires should remember that a foot-fault can only be called
where they are positive that the rule has been broken. The player must
receive the benefit of any doubt.
There is no better way to learn good play and tactics than to serve as
umpire or linesman in tournaments, and the best players in the country today
are quite willing to act in those capacities.
To serve as an official is an education and an honor.

National Championships
By F. B. Alexander.
The thirty-fifth tournament for the National Championships of the United
States — and which might well be called last season the Championships of
the World, as tennis was at a standstill in other countries on account of the
war— began Tuesday, August 31, at the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills,
Long Island, New York, after having been postponed Monday because of ram.
It was of added interest, both to the veteran and tyro, as for the first time
in the history of the game in the United States it was held on other than the
traditional Newport Casino courts. From every side could be heard expres-
sions of satisfaction at the general arrangements, and congratulations of
highest order were showered upon Mr. Julian Myrick, president of the club,
and his corps of able assistants for their splendid work.
Mr. Robert D. Wrenn, president of the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association and official referee of the tournament, took charge of matters im-
mediately, and promptly had all the matches scheduled for 10 :30 A. M.- under
way. Every detail of management had been anticipated. There was an efficient
corps of umpires and linesmen, and an innovation was sprung by introducing
a peripatetic squad of footfault umpires, who strolled from court to court
good-humoredly curbing competitors who. through overanxiety or impetuosity,
were infringing the strict rule regarding an unfair service. , a. ^„
The four championship courts, surrounded on three sides by grandstands
and on the fourth by the club house, were in the pink of condition, as indeed
were all the other courts. The weather conditions throughout the tournament
were also perfect, the temperature being just hot enough to limber up tne
players.
First Round— Tuesday, August 31
The first round, which was entirely completed Tuesday, brought forth no
upsets, unless the defeat of Niles at the hands of Alexander can so be termed.
True, Niles from his record during the season undoubtedly was the choice,
but it must be remembered that Alexander had played but little in tourna-
ments and practiced still less until the week before the championships, ihis
match was staged on the court next to the club house, m the afternoon, ana
resolved itself into the most bitterly fought of all the contests After three
hours of solid play, both spectators and competitors were thoroughly ex-
hausted. The two main features of the match were Niles' return of service
and Alexander's low and ha^f' volleys. Both men were well acquainted with
each other's style of game, and both wore old campaigners, consequently very
nearly every "trick of the trade" was disclosed at some time or other. Alex-
ander took 'the first set, 6/3, service counting until the eighth game, where
Alexander broke through Niles' delivery and won the ninth on his own. bome

played their driyes good and deep, though with an entirely different method.
Hall's topspin strokes, both forehand and backhand, were never better, and
Johnson's chop strokes were also working well. The first set was by far
the best tennis, though all through the match both played very steadily.
Hall won out more on condition than anything else, as there was but little
to choose between the two.
W. M. Washburn vanquished George M. Church, the intercollegiate cham*
pion, in four well played sets, thus causing the first upset. Washburn had
one of his brilliant yet steady days and anticipated Church's peculiar but
effective shots. Church's overhead work was not up to his usual standard ;
possibly the fact that Washburn's lobs were timely and well executed ac-
counted for this. The first set Washburn won, 7/5, taking the last four
games after Church had the lead, 5/3. Washburn's accuracy towards the
end of this set was the feature. Church again led at 4/1 in the second set,
' only to have Washburn again pull up even. He then had a chance to win
the set, 6/4, being within a point, but was unable to do so. However, he
won it out, 11/9. This was Church's last stand and by masterlv playing
Washburn won the next two sets, 6/4, 6/2.
Inman gave R. N. Williams a good run in the first and third sets. Will-
iams seemed a bit careless at times, but Inman was always after the ball
and many times outguessed his famous opponent.
Mathey was unable to do anything with McLoughlin's servic i until the third
set, when he ran the score to 5/2 in his favor. McLoughlin braced and ran
out the set, 8/6. He won the first two, 6/1, 6/2.
T. R. Pell defeated E. H. Whitney in four sets, dropping the third, 6/0,
but he was never in danger of losing, and had the match in hand at all times.
W. M. Johnston experienced a great deal of trouble with Clarence Pell^
who ran him to three hard sets.
Third Round — Thursday, September 2
Thursday's star event was the crushing defeat of Washburn at the hands
of T. R. Pell. A close match had been expected, with the odds in favor of
Washburn, particularly after his fine showing the day before against Church.
To give him full credit, Washburn tried everything. He changed his game,
mixed up fast balls with slow ones, in fact, played every style of game at
his command, but Pell was in one of those rare humors when nothing was
too difficult for him to accomplish. His great backhand was working with its
usual accuracy, and he developed an offensive forehand which was very use-
ful. His net play, usually mediocre in singles, also improved materially,
though he depended mostly on his ground strokes. His service had plenty
of steam to it, and his percentage of first service was high. Try as he
might. Washburn was unable to capture a set and Pell won, 6/4, 6/4, 6/3.
Hall, though palpably suffering from the effects of his hard match the day
before, gave Williams all he wanted while he lasted. He lost the first set.

25-
6/3, and the second, 9/7. These two sets were most interesting to watch,
the driving duels and court covering being especially fine. Time and again
one or the other would place the ball seemingly out of reach, and time and
again a splendid "get" would result. Hall tired badly towards the end of
the third set, but won it, 6/3. He had shot his bolt, however, and Williams
walked through the fourth, 6/1. These two meritorious performances of
Hall's were all the more noticeable, as he had been playing much in-and-out
tennis during the earlier part of the season.
Robert LeRoy gave Karl Behr a good rub, Behr winning in four sets. It
is a peculiar thing that LeRoy always seems to be able to extend Behr to the
limit. LeRoy's forehand drives and passing shots were very well executed,
and his "tennis sense" always in evidence. Often he would catch Behr flat-
footed off his balance. Behr depended on straight hard tennis, pulling off at
times remarkable shots, and again usually falling down on the easy ones.
The score of all the sets was 6/4, LeRoy winning the first.
Leonard Beekman surprised his friends by taking a set from McLoughlin,
and though McLoughlin at all times had the control, he had to keep going
at top speed to keep his young opponent in hand. Beekman showed good
tactical knowledge and handled McLoughlin's service with better results than
the score would indicate, pulling many of the games to deuce. The- score was
6/2, 3/6, 6/2, 6/2.
Alexander defeated S. Howard Voshell in straight sets, 6/4, 6/4, 6/2.
Again Alexander's volleying aided him to chalk up another win.
W. M. Johnston never gave Watters a chance to get started and won
easily, 6/2, 6/1, 6/2. Griffin defeated Dawson in straight sets, one of which
went to deuce, and the hard hitting Hunter got mixed up in his second five-set
match, defeating G. A. L. Dionue, 10/8, 6/3, 2/6, 2/6, 6/3.
Fourth Round — Friday, September 3
The Johnston-Behr match was the star event of Friday's play, and when
the smoke cleared off the battlefield Johnston emerged the victor in four
beautifully played sets, 3/6. 6/3, 6/2. 7/5. A point description of this match
would be intensely interesting. Both players throughout cast discretion to
the winds and each return, no matter how difficult, was met with the solid
intention of finishing up the point then and there. Behr starte'l at full
speed and. taking advantage of a spell of wildness on Johnston's part,
slammed his way through the first set. By this time Johnston was thor-
oughly warmed up, and with every game his play improved. He disclosed
an attack at the net upon which it would be difficult to improve. He handled
Behr's hard drives around his feet with heartbreaking ease, and anything
above his waist was returned for a sure kill. Such a net attack on his own
service, together with his powerful forehand and accurate backhand drives
off the return of service, was more than Behr could cope with. Try as he
might, Behr was unable to stem the tide and Johnston ran out two sets, 6/3,
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 27
6/2. After the usual seven minutes rest tbe men returned to tlie fray. Both
were in perfect condition. Johnston continued his great playing, but met
stiffer resistance. Behr's shots were true and well placed. Many errors
were chalked up to each player, but few could be termed inexcusable, the
speed with which the ball was traveling being accountable generally for the
nets and outs. Each won his service to 3-all, when Johnston liroke through,
winning the deciding point by a netcord shot, which just rolled over. This
critical point decided the battle, as Johnston won his service, making it
set and match.
The McLoughlin-Alexander match was interesting in the fact that it was
expected that the veteran would force McLoughlin to show his full hand
and in some ways he did. For two sets Mcl^oughlin showed his old speed.
His brilliant rushes to the net on his powerful service reminded one of the
McLoughiiu-Brookes match in the Davis Cup the year before. lie had plenty
of stuff on his service and mixed up fast ones and spinners with bewildering
Irregularity. Alexander was helpless before this attack and quickly lost
the first two sets, 6/3, 6/2. From the sublime to the ridiculous is a wide
jump, but this is what occurred in the third set. McLoughlin seemed to
lose entire control of the ball, even his service slowing down enough to allow
Alexander to pass him time after time. In consequence, Alexander's game im-
proved and he took the third set, 6 1. The fourth set was closer than the
score indicates. The losing of one service game by Alexander put the set on
ice for McLoughlin, 6/3. This match was typical of McLoughlin's play
during tbe season, as he seemed unable to go the full route at high speed.
Of the other matches in this round, William Rand, Jr., defeated Craig Bid-
die in a hard five-set match, 3/6, 6/3, 6/3, 2/6, 6/3. The overworked Hunter
again won out in five sets, defeating Pfaffman by the same score. Irving
Wright took the measure of Bernon S. Prentice in straight sets, 7/5, 6/4, 6/1.
Pell kept up his good work, smothering C. M. Bull, Brooklyn's last hope,
6/1, 6/2, 6/3. Williams won with ease from Adoue, the Texan, 6/3, 6/1, 6/0,
and Griffin accounted for Law, 6/2, 6/4, 6/2.
Fifth Round — Saturday, September 4
Saturday found the two Californians, Johnston and Griffin, pitted against
each other. Johnston was, of course, favored, but Griffin gave an excellent
account of himself. Johnston walked away with the first two sets, 6/2, 6/1 ;
then, much to tlie surprise of everyone. Griffin, by fine court tactics and good
judgment, took the next two after fighting desperately for every point. Both
went to deuce before he won them at 8/6, 7/5. Johnston fairly burnt up the
court with his speed in the last set and quickly finished up, 6/1.
William Rand put up some stiff opposition in his match with Williams,
finally succumbing in straight sets, 8/6, 7/5, 6/1. Williams again showed
a tendency to experiment with his strokes and took matters rather easily.
McLoughlin had no trouble with Hunter, 6/2, 6/4, 6/0.
Pell fairly breezed through Wright, 6/3, 6/1, 6/1. Wright's cjiop stroke,
which on account of its low bound was expected to give Pell trouble, seemed
to fit right into Pell's game.
Sunday intervening, the four men left to battle for the oriflamme of the
tennis world had a much needed day's rest. This was particularly useful
in Johnston's case, as his path had been the hardest of the four. The mental
wear and tear of two matches in succession against such players as Behr and
Griffin alone was enough to mean the losing of a close match.
Semi-Final Round — Monday, September 6
It was fitting that a Labor Day crowd should witness the defeat of a cham-
pion and the crowning of a new king in one of the most stubbornly con-
tested matches ever played. The grandstands were crowded. A conservative
estimate of the number of enthusiasts present can be taken from the fact
that the capacity of the two big stands was 7,000, and there were about 2,000
in the extra •"windbreaker" and club house, making about 9,000 in all, and
1, N. W. Niles. the Boston expert, ranked No. 6 in 1915; 2, W. Merrill Hall, of New
York, ranked No. 10 in 1915.

ccmparing very favorably with the Davis Cup matches of 1914. The playing
conditions were perfect, and nothing more could have been desired in the stage
setting.
When the two men took the court Williams was a slight favorite, not that
his tennis up to this point in the tournament had been any better than
Johnston's, but because many believed that in such an important match
he woul 1 lay aside his carelessness and show some of the sound tennis which
he had played in the Newport invitation tournament two weeks previous.
Williams started erratically, and, mainly through errors on his part, Johnston
ran the games to 5/1 in the first set before the Philadelphlan found himself.
Williams' game was of the hlt-or-mlss variety, an earned point or an error.
The Callfornlan then rose superbly to the occasion and slowly started to
climb. When 5-all was called, which the spectators greeted with a volley of
applause, Johnston had had four chances to draw first blood, but seemed
unable to pull off one of his brilliant shots at this critical time. Putting
evervthing he had Into his strokes, Williams took the next two games and
the set, 7/5. The type of game Williams was playing showed what chances
he was taking. He compiled seventeen earned points In the first set — a
truly remarkable number — but his error column was correspondingly high.
Again Johnston ran Into a good lead In the second set, and again Williams
gave a fine exhibition of nerve and finally evened the games at 4-all. This
was of no avail, however, as a spell of wlldness gave the second set to
Johnston, 6/4. The third set was well played, each man winning his service
four times. Johnston won the next game and again lost a chance to salt
away a set. Williams pulled out the game and took the next two and set,
7/5. It was now two sets to one, with Williams leading, and the wise ones
predicted the match was over. To their surprise, from the very start of
the fourth set Williams seemed worried and lacking In confidence. After
winning the first game Williams dropped three in a row. Bunched errors
bv Johnston gave the fifth game to the Philadelphlan. Again three In a row
for Johnston gave him the set and the score, 22 errors out of 28 points,
goes far to tell the story of the set, Johnston mainly contenting himself
with Gibraltar-like steadiness, while Williams seemed helpless. Johnston
showed the effect of the psychology of the game In the fifth set. He cut
loose with a wonderful burst of speed from the very beginning and showed
supreme confidence In his ability to pull off every shot in his repertoire. ^ Will-
iams made a despairing rally in the early part, taking one of Johnston s ser-
vices and leading at 2/1. Then Williams weakened and Johnston took four
games in a canter. The last and deciding game Williams ran to 40-10, but
Johnston, by superb tennis, took five points straight and the match.
An analysis of the match shows Johnston and Williams even In earned
points with 44 each, but the error columns tell the tale, with Williams 14
errors ahead of the Callfornlan. ^ ,, ^ , ^ .. i. ^ ..•
The other semi-final, between McLoughlln and Pell, to«k but a short time
to play Pell was unable to hold his own services and helpless on McLough-
lln'8 A despairing brace In the third set furnished Pell with five games, the
first two sets having been won easily by the "Comet." Pell's famous back-
hand was not going as well as usual and, much to the surprise of all, most
of McLoughlln's points were gained by pounding that seemingly Invulnerable
Bpot Pell's service was severe, but not well placed and always found Mc-
Loughlln in position. McLoughlln played good tennis all the way, but was
not forced any great extent.
Final Round — Tuesday, September 7
Again a perfect day greeted the two Callfornlans, and everyone settled
back to witness the battle of giants. Could Johnston cope with that 42-centl-
meter service and would the "Comet" show that he still held something up
his sleeve'' That "something" which had made him tho conqueror of the
mlghtv Brookes and the steady Wilding In 1914. Out In California Johnston
had been pressing hard on the heels of his more famous rival, but had been
just unable to turn the trick. Both men showed plainly the nervous strain
of the seven davs of hard competition. Johnston was, If anything, suffering
the most from its effects. The tale of the first set Is soon told Johnston
got away to a bad start and McLoughlln, playing with great brilliancy,

allowed his young opponent but one game. McLoughlin made but five errors
in this set. A complete reversal of form occurred in the second set. John-
ston pulled himself together, and with the aid of a big slump on Mac's part,
took the set as easily as he had lost the first, at G/0. Five errors only were
recorded against Johnston and he had complete command. Thus far, more
in-and-out tounis could hardly be imagined. With the score ono-set-all. the
fireworks started. McLoughlin braced. Sterling tennis on the part of both
carried the games to 2-all. Johnston won his service, then took McLough-
lin's and won his own, making it 5/2. To this point Johnston's game was
a revelation. Again his low volleying counted for point after point and
that fearful delivery of the "Comet" had no terrors. A splendid brace by
"Mac" carried the games to 5-all, but he was unable to hold the pace and
Johnston won the next two games an<l third set, 7/5. The fourth set found
both men going at top speed and both very nervous. Johnston looked as if
at any moment the strain would be too much for him and McLoughlin was
gritting his teeth to keep himself at high pressure. Each won his service to
2-all. With determination written in every line of his face McLoughlin took
the next two games. Johnston at this time pulled off some of the best shots
of the match and evened the score at 4-all. It was easy to see that McLough-
lin had lost confidence in his backhand, which had been the vulnerable point
In his defense, and he was now using up much of his reserve power in run-
ning around the ball. Johnston won his service, and in the next game was
within a point of the championship. Again that splendid courage which has
always been linked with the name of McLoughlin came to the "Comet's"
aid, and he pulled out the game. Five-all and Johnston discouraged by his
lost opportunity dropped his service. McLoughlin looked to have the set and
was within a point of it twice. The excitement was intense. Johnston
steadied himself, and with some beautiful tenuis took the game 6-all and each
earned his service, 7-all. Again McLoughlin took Johnston's delivery. A long
deuce-and-vantage game, a net-cord stroke for Johnston and a superb volley
and the score was 8-all. Both men were showing exhaustion, but hanging
on like grim death. Another deuce game on Johnston's service and another
of his remarkable volleys accounted for the game point. Long rallies marked
the final game, with Johnston the stronger. At 15-40 in his favor, Johnston
netted and then made the point necessary to clinch the championship, as'
well earned as any played in the last twenty years.
To summarize briefly, excellent tennis, fine weather, and perfect playing
conditions will cause the national championships of 1915 to go down in the
history of lawn tennis as the most successful up to the present time. Sum-

National Challenge Doubles
By F. B. Alexander.
The "red letter" doubles match of the season was played at the West
Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, Long Island, the day after the final singles
match. It proved as exciting as one could desire, going to five sets before
the final point was decided in favor of the challengers, W. M. Johnston and
€. J. Griffin of California. M. E. McLoughlin and T. C. Bundy, the cham-
pions, who had successfully held the championship for three years, went
■down to honorable defeat. Bundy, though sadly lacking in condition on
account of lack of practice, covered himself with glory and withstood for
four sets the brunt of the attack, and though weary and exhausted, never
let up in his efforts to stave off defeat. McLoughlin, wearied by his efforts
in the singles, played a fair game, but not quite up to his usual standard.
Johnston, notwithstanding his hard work in the singles, was easily the best
of the four, b^ing the steadiest. Griffin played a heady but not over effective
game. Good weather conditions prevailed.
Johnston started proceedings by winning his service, McLoughlin won his
at love and then Griffin dropped his. Bundy's deljvery was too much for the
challengers and the score was 3/1. Service won to 4/2, when again Griffin
failed and Bundy accounted for the first set, 6/2. The tennis in this set
was poor, the points being mostly accounted for by errors. The games in
the second set were all close and the play improved materially. Griffin, who
had been much at fault, pulled himself together and led the attack on Bundy,
who weakened on one service, which was enough to account for the second
set at 6/3 in Johnston and Griffin's favor. The third set was a repetition
of the second, with Bundy losing his delivery in the third game and all the
■others winning. Johnston was seen at his best in this set. He was always
In position, hitting the ball hard, and his judgment was excellent. The set
went to the challengers at 6/4.
Fireworks were about due, and they came with a vengeance in the fourth
set. The first three games went with the service, but Griffin lost the fourth.
Johnston's speedy forehand drives were the telling factor on McLoughlin's
delivery, which the challengers took. Johnston then dropped a close game
and Bundy only just managed to squeeze through his, and the holders then
took the set, 6/3. The fifth set was exciting only in the fact that it decided
the contest. Service won in every case, excepting McLoughlin's service in
the sixth game, which he lost, and the set went to Johnston and Griffin, 6/3.
A peculiar phase presented itself in the fact that each side won 154 points,
showing how close the match was. As an exhibition of high-class doubles
the match was disappointing ; as a thrilling contest it was all that could
be desired.

Return Series — East vs. Pacific Coast

Through the efforts of Mr. .Julian S. Myrlck, President of the West Side
Tennis Club, a return match between the East and Pacific Coast was arranged
to be played after the National Championships on the turf courts of the club.
The California team was composed of Captain M. E. McLoughlin. ex-Na-
tional Champion ; W. M. Johnston, National Champion ; C. J. Grifiin, National
Doubles Champion ; and T. C. Bundy, ex-National Champion ; with Ward
Dawson alternate — a truly formidable array. The Eastern team comprised
Captain K. N. Williams, ex-National Champion ; K. H. Behr, the former Inter-
nationalist ; N. W. Niies, Massachusetts State Champion ; T. R. Pell, the
veteran, and W. M. Washburn, National Indoor Doubles Champion.
Four matches were played in singles and two in doubles. The East won
eventually three singles and one doubles after a disheartening l)eginning.
Friday, September 10, was the first day, and M. E. McLoughlin faced Karl
Behr in the opening match. The result was a disappointment to the East,
as Behr fell a fairly easy victim to McLoughlin's slashing game. The weather
was oppressively hot and both players had a hard job to keep from letting
down. McLoughlin, notwithstanding this fact, had better control over the
ball than in the National Championships and put up a very clever brand of
tennis. Behr had great difficulty in handling his service, which had fine
break and speed. McLoughlin lost the second set, 6/3, but won the last two,
6/2, 6/2, after winning the first, 6^4.
Pell and Bundy then had a five-set scrap, which produced some queer
reversals of form. There was but little to choose between them until Bundy
began to show signs of exhaustion. Pell won, 6/4, 2/6, 6/2, 3/6, 6/4.
The first doubles match between the new Doubles Champions, Johnston and
Griffin, and the Eastern Champions, Williams and Washburn, turned into
a rout, the National Cliampions holding the balance of power all the way and
winning, 6/4. 6/2, 6/4.
Saturday dawned fair and hot, with the East one match down and the
outlook serious. It looked worse when Griffin won the first set from Niles,
6/4. Niles at this point took a big brace and was never afterward in danger,
winning the match, 6/4, 6/3, 6/1. This was quite a surprise. The most
interesting match, from the fact that it was a second meeting between the
present champion and ex-champion, namely, W. M. Johnston and R. N.
Williams, was then started.
Williams played a fine brilliant game, but Johnston seemingly was feel-
ing the effect of his tournament the week before. Williams won the first set
at 6/4, in slack tennis. Johnston started the second with a burst of speed
that reminded one of his former play and took six straight games. Williams
steadied in the third set and won it, 6/4. The fourth set was the best played
of the lot and Williams earned it. winning, 6/4.
The last match staged. McLoughlin and Bundy vs. Pell and Behr, was a
hummer, and the hard hitting and close volleying between McLoughlin and
Behr was a treat. Pell and Behr broke through McLoughlin's service in the
first set and annexed it. 6/4. The second set produced a terrific struggle,
McLoughlin and Bundy finally taking Behr's service and the set, 10/8. The
Westerners also won the third set, 8/6, after coming up from behind. The
fourth set was a furious contest. McLoughlin and Bundy led at 6/5, and
Bundy's service, only to lose it and the set, 8/6. The fifth set was equally
well played and Pell and Behr only just managed to take it, 6/4. Summary :

National Preliminary Doubles
Bt a. H. Lawson.
The preliminary matches in the National Preliminary Doubles were played
on the turf courts of the Onwentsia Club. Lake Forest, 111., bejjinning August
10. In the first round the Eastern team, composed of R. N. Williams. 2nd. and
W. M. Washburn, was drawn against the Pacific Coast champions, W. M.
Johnston and C. J. Griffin. G. M. Church and Dean Mathey, representing the
Northwest, drew the bye at the top, while Nat. Thornton and B. M. Grant,
representing the South, and Walter T. Hayes and Ralph Burdick, representing
the West, drew byes at the bottom.
As in the Western, the games were much delayed by rain, with the result
that while the first match was played as scheduled on August 10, the semi-
finals and finals were not completed until August 13 and 14. Those who
attended the matches, however, were rewarded with the most spectacular ten-
nis that has been seen on the Onwentsia courts in years. In the preliminary
round. .Tohnston and Griffin were forced to go five sets before they defeated
Williams and Washburn. The Californians surpassed the Harvard pair in speed.
The winners won the set by the narrow margin of four points. 185 to 181.

On August 13, Johnston and Griffin encountered another pair worthy of their
steel, in Church and Mathey, the Northwest champions. This match proved to
be of an entirely different style of play than the preliminary. Church and
Mathey resorted to lobbing, which disconcerted the coast team for a time.
Church covered more ground than any of the players and Mathey aided him
with wonderful stops of the volleys of the Californians. Griffin was a factor
in the most points for his team, but made more nets and outs than his partner,
Johnston, whose hard volleys gained them many points.

MISS MOLL A BJtTRSTEDT,
National Indoor and Outdoor Women's Champion, 1915.

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 47
National Women's Championships
The twenty-ninth national women's cliampionships, held on the grass courts
of the Philadelphia Cricket Club at St. Martin's, near Philadelphia, from June
7 to 12, not only resulted in a decisive and well-deserved win for Miss Molla
Bjurstedt of Christiauia. Norway, now residing in New York, but she achieved
the honor of being the first foreigner to acquire the American title.
Miss Bjurstedt came through her half of the tournament, losing only one
set. that to Miss Martha Guthrie of Pittsburgh, in the semi-final round ; and
as Miss Marv Browne, the standing-out champion, did not appear to defend.
Miss Bjurstedfs match in the final round with Mrs. George W. Wightman
decided the championship for another year.
In the contest with Mrs. Wightman. Miss Bjurstedt lost the first set in a
very evenly waged battle, the score being 6/4. Tne victory weakened Mrs.
Wightman. having just recovered from an attack of diphtheria, and although
she did well for a few games in the second set, she settled down to conserve
her energies for the third set. She interposed even less resistance, however,
and at no time in the set was there the slightest doubt as to the result.
Starting slowly, and being uncertain and very anxious at the beginning. Miss
Bjurstedt struck her gait in the early part of the second set. She improved
steadilv and rapidlv from that time on. and the pace and directio of her
shots left Mrs. Wightman, in her weakened condition, utterly unable to cope
with them.
Mrs. Wightman and Miss Eleanora Sears of Boston captured the women's
doubles. They won rather handilv. although it looked for a time as if they
would be defeated by the vigorous onslaught of Mrs. Marshall McLean and
Mrs. G. L. Chapman. By slightly superior team work and more aggressive
tactics Mrs. Wightman and Miss Sears managed to squeeze through to victory.
Mrs. Wightman scored a second triumph in the mixed doubles, winning easily
with Harry C. .Tohnson of Boston as her partner.
The men's singles, which is always a competition in connection with the
women's championships, was without the entry of Wallace Johnson, who con-
fined himself to the mixed douliles. The winner was W. T. Tilden, Jr., who
defeated Craig Biddle in a four-set match that was full of brilliance.
The championships drew a record-breaking entry of seventy-four in the sin-
gles, twenty-seven pairs in the doubles, and forty-four pairs in the mixed dou-
bles. There was considerable class in the lists, but the luck of the draw
brought the two great rivals for championship honors — Miss Bjurstedt and
Mrs. "wightman — into opposite halves, and they seemed to be the logical oppo-
nents in the final round. The summaries :

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 61
Sixth Clay Court Championships
By Harry Seymour.
The Pittsburgh Athletic Association was the scene of the play for the
sixth clay court championships of the United States. June 26 to July 3.
Kain interfered witii play on five of the seven days necessary to complete
the events, and defaults were liberally applied in all, in order to keep up
to schedule, which a liberal use of gasoline made possible.
Other Pittsburgh organizations aided materially — the courts of the Pitts-
burgh Golf Club, University Club and Allegheny Country Club being used when
necessary, in addition to the ten at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association.
The men's events were dominated by the National champion on grass, Rich-
ard N. Williams, 2nd : George M. Church, who had just won the Delaware
State Championsliip ; W. M. Washl)urn and Dean Mathey, who, as members
of the team selected to represent the East by the National Association in the
Panama-Pacific matches, were on their way to San Francisco.
The women's singles were fully as high class in their entries. Miss Molla
Bjurstedt, Mrs. G. W. Wightman, Mrs. Barger-Wallach, Miss Myrtle McAteer,
all champions of this and previous years, coml^ating with the rising cham-
pions of the Middle West in Miss Martha Guthrie and Miss Mary Snyder of
Pittsburgla, Miss Buda Stephens of Toledo and Miss Anne Hugus of Wheeling.
Miss Clare Cassel of New York also played.
Mixed doubles play was confined to the last two days, Mrs. Wightman and
H. C. Johnson of Boston outclassing all other teams decidedly in the only
two matches they were required to contest. Miss Clare Cassel and P. D.
Siverd actually played all their matches (five) on Monday, July 5, being run-
ners-up, with two close matches, one against Miss McAteer and G. C. Burgwin,?
Jr., and another against Miss Bjurstedt and H. D. Denny, Jr.
R. N. Williams, 2nd, repeated his victory of 1012, downing G. M. Church
in the final match, which was interrupted in the fourth set by a cloudburst
with Williams leading two sets to one. As Clarence Griffin, the holdover
champion, did not appear to defend his title, Williams won by default.
Gn his way through the tournament Williams won from Harmar Denny,
Jr., In the preliminary round ; Victor Bihlman of Carnegie Tech : G. "Collie"
Burgwin, Jr., Jersey Coast champion; H. C. Johnson of Boston, D. W. Lloyd,
Dean Mathey and N. W. Niles.
Church, in the upper bracket, had easier sailing against H. A. Ebbert, C.
H. Raseman, W. B. Knox and C. S. Garland, losing only four games to the
group. When he struck Washburn, however, he had a tussle, the first two sets
going to 7/5 and the third, 6/2. Other good matches were those in which J.
G. Castle defeated Inman, Niles' victory over McEllroy and the former's loss
to Williams.
The "Big Four" dominated the doubles, as they did the singles. Church and
Mathey defeating Williams and Washburn in the final match, shortened by
agreement to two out of three sets. This match and the semi-final between
Niles and Johnson and Williams and Washburn, which also went to three
sets, as well as the semi-final between Church and Mathey and Ward and
Siverd, Pittsburgh's crack douldes team, were not played until after the singles
final had been disposed of and the courts were muddy and tne light bad.
Under more favorable conditions the play would have been more enjoyable,
for both spectators and contestants. The danger of falling was ever present,
and all hands were nervous under the "forced march." Local teams of con-
siderable strength gave way to the "champs" all through the last day in an
effort to lighten the task of the travelers and enable them to keep to their
scheduled time of arrival on the Pacific Coast. Nat Browne and Claude
Wayne, 1914 winners, did not defend their title.
In addition to the foregoing entries, those who participated in men's play
from out of town were H. A. Ebbert. T. M. Cummins, Thomas Beattie, William
Franzheim and Wright Hugus of Wheeling; R. A. Johnson of Parkersburg;
Middleton DeCamp and W. M. Tyler of Cincinnati ; D. D. Morgan, Washington,

and Miss Mary BrowLe on the list of clay court champions by defeating Mrs.
G. W. Wightman in the final of the women's singles. Mrs. Wightman looked

after a good lead.

Snyder in earlier rounds. Mrs. Wightman defeated Miss Buda Stephens, Miss

R. LINDLEY MURRAY,
National Indoor Champion, 1916.
The Califomian who is now located in the East.
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 57
National Indoor Championships, 1916
The largest crowd that ever attended an indoor championship, which began
February 12. in the Seventh Regiment armory, New York, saw the final con-
tests on Washington's Birthday, in which Robert Lindley Murray was opposed
by Alrick H, Man, Jr., the former Yale University tennis captain, and the
Californian ended the struggle in straight sets, the third being a hummer.
Man led off with the service. He prettily half volleyed Murray's returns
from deep court. Pace held no terrors for the former l^ale captain. His
returns were well placed when Murray had not forced him out of position so
that he could not execute a fair shot. Man won the first game only to have
the dashing Murray take five in a row, chiefly by coming up to the net and
smashing.
It was much the same story in the second set. Murray's deep shots with
the twisting bounds caused Man to hit the ball upward. It was a feeder for
the Californian's cyclonic overhanders, which he slashed into the corners of his
opponent's court.
Man brought his celebrated drop shot into action in the third set. The hot
pace combined with the necessitj' Murray found of digging the ball off the
boards made it possible for Man to forge into a lead at 4/1 on games. In the
tenth game Man was within a stroke of winning the set. On the fifteenth
game Murray broke through and finished the match on the sixteenth, without
having lost a set during the entire tournament.
In the doubles. Smith and Cragin ran through the first two sets with the
utmost ease. They also won three games of the first four in the third set at
love. At this juncture Rosenbaum and Lovibond showed a surprising reversal
of form. In the next three games they won twice on their own service, and
were trailing only at 3/4, the best showing they had made to date. In the
eighth game Smith and Cragin led at 40-15 on Smith's service, but the other
pair braced and pulled the game out. tieing the set at 4-all, and kept right on
going until they had taken two more and the set.
Each team in the fourth set won on service until the score stood 7/6 for
Rosenbaum and Lovibond. On the fourteenth game the pair broke through
Smith's service and captured the game that tied the match, and finally won out.
Long rallies and tight situations marked the fifth set. After winning two
games to one, Rosenbaum and Lovibond slipped back in the rut and lost three
consecutive games. After trailing at 15-40, in the seventh, Rosenbaum and
Lovibond won a game that went to deuce six times. They augmented this
with two more and had the lead at 5/4. On the tenth game, the same pair
came within an ace of victory by gaining the first vantage point after deuce,
but lost the game, making the set deuce at 5-all. Service counted for victories
until the score stood 9/8, favoring Rosenliaum and Lovibond, and this combina-
tion took the title on the next game when it broke through Cragin's service.

her success in in the 1015 singles, and, with Miss Marie Wagner as a part-
ner, also took the doubles.

Bjurstedt's favor, the spectators fairly marvelled at the amazing power with
which Miss Bjurstedt executed her strokes.

62 SPALDING'S LAWX TENNIS ANNUAL.
Panama-Pacific Exposition Tournament
\ By Carl K. Gardner.
Maurice E. McLoughlin in the men's singles, William M. Johnston and John
Strachan in the doubles, and Miss Anita Myers in the women's singles were
the winners in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition tournament, held
on the asphalt courts of the California Tennis Club, San Francisco, Julj- 10
to 17.
The competition called out all the best talent on the Pacific slope, as well as
the entries of the Eastern team which came here to play the first match w^ith
the pick of the Pacific Coast. That they did not make a better showing was
due perhaps, more than anything else, to their lack of experience with the
difficult asphalt courts, also to the fact that they had only a few days for
practice after a long train journey across the country.
Forty-one players were drawn in the men's singles, and only two defaulted.
All four of the Eastern men were defeated in the early rounds, and the semi-
finals and final of singles were confined to coast players.
Williams gained a host of admirers when he put out Murray in w^hat was
probably the most desperately fought match of the tournament. The score
of 8/6, 7/9, 9/7, gives a fair idea of how the battle raged. But the upset
of the tournament came in the fourth round when Williams went down
before Griffin in three sets, G/3, 5/7, 6/1. The victor, conceded little chance by
the majoritv, figured out a plan of battle that worked perfectly. He planned
to lob Williams every time he came to the net, and to sacrifice speed to crafti-
ness at all times. The wind blew extra hard that day and aided Griffin
immeasurably. It upset the champion from the start and made Griffin's well-
timed lobs circle and sway in the air most disconcertingly. From beginning
to end. Griffin played as one inspired.
The final round between McLoughlin and Johnston was played before a
gallery numbering close to three thousand persons. Although McLoughlin
was the popular choice many of the critics who followed the play of the two
men in their previous matches looked for his defeat. Although McLoughlin
won, it was a peculiar victory. Johnston apparently played better tennis in
the five sets than McLoughlin, but the breaks in luck were all against him.
The big upset in the doubles occurred immediately after the start. Law-
rence Curtis of Harvard and John C. Rohlfs of San Francisco, who had never
even heard of each other previous to the arrival of the Easterners, defeated
Williams and Washburn in a close match, 4/6, 6,4, 8/6. The final round
resulted in a pretty match, there being many rallies of considerable length, and
an abundance of brilliant plays. Johnston and Strachan won in four sets.
Mathey and Church tried desperately and displayed by far the best tennis
they had yet shown on asphalt. Mathey still suffered from his double-faulting
tendency, and it cost his side dearly in the third set, but otherwise both he
and Church plaj-ed in good form. Strachan w^-is the star of the match, his
remarkable returns of service being invaluable to his side.
Miss Anita Myers, playing the best tennis of her career, came through the
women's singles and defeated Miss Marjorie Wale in the final at 6/4, 6/2. The

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 65
Lon^wood Singles and Eastern Doubles
Maurice E. McLoufjhlin retained bis title as Longwood champion, and Richard
Norris Williams, 2nd, and Watson W. Washburn won the Eastern doubles, in
the tournament held on the courts of the Longwood Cricket Club, Boston,
beginning July 28.
Williams was the tournament winner in singles, defeating N. W. Niles In
straight sets. The match was played in a misty rain that was depressing.
However. Williams was almost unplayable. Every shot was paceful and mar-
velous in its accuracy.
When Williams and McLoughlin met in the challenge round on Friday,
August 6, the weather conditions were almost incredibly liad. There had been
no sun for nearly a week and rain fell from start to finish of the match. The
court became but little better than a quagmire and there was literally no foot-
ing. Despite the gloomy conditions, a big crowd was out to see the match.
Nearly 2.000 persons surrounded the court, many of them holding up umbrellas,
but the majority stolidly enduring the steady downfall of rain. The gallery
surrounded the court on four sides, filled the grandstand and packed the little
eminence in front of the club house. Not only was there no seating space left,
but standees occupied every position of vantage.
Under these conditions the match was a travesty on lawn tennis. McLough-
lin won. partly because he did not worry over things, and partly because he
revealed himself in a totally new light — that of. a back court player, phenom-
enally steady and adept at keeping the ball in play, and sure and dependable
on his backhand. The general expectation was that W^illiams would win ; this
was shared by McLoughlin. But the Philadelphian fretted over conditions,
tried to move' quickly about the court and to go to the net. The result was
that he fell flat on his face once and spread-eagled the court several times in
his endeavor to get a ball that was out of his reach.
The fancied teams in the Eastern Doubles were H. H. Hackett and T. R. Pell,
Craig Biddle and Harry C. Johnson, R. N. Williams, 2nd, and W. M. Washburn,
and N. W. Niles and G. P. Gardner, Jr.. all in the upper half ; E. P. Earned
and F. C. Inman. Wallace Johnson and Irving C. Wright in the bottom half.
The last named pairs clashed in the second round and a sensational and quite
unexpected win for Johnson and Wright followed.
With Earned and Inman out of it. interest centered In the top half. On
Friday morning two five-set matches reduced the number of contenders there
to two teams, while in the afternoon another five-set battle left only Williams
and Washburn. Hackett and Pell won the first set from .Johnson and Biddle
after a stiff fight and the second easily, but they lost the next two, after which
they pressed on to victory by lasting better than their opponents. Williams
and Washburn also won the first two sets easily from Niles and Gardner but
a slump cost them the next two. They came strongly in the fifth, however, and
won with something to spare.
Friday afternoon's match was a thriller. Hackett and Pell won the first
two sets decisively by vastly better play and team work. After that the tide
turned and Williams and Washburn won the next three sets even more deci-
eively. Williams was the star in these sets. He played with a dash and bril-
liance that evoked great applause, and the very unorthodoxy of his shots did
much to render them effective. Washburn was streaky, being both very good
and very bad. Of the opposing pair Hackett was the better, getting plenty of
pace on the ball and employing tactics that were beyond criticism.
The final round was something of an anti-climax. Johnson and Wright were
successful so long as Williams and Washburn were going badly, but when they
started to play as a team and to hit out there was no doubt as to the result.
Washburn was very much better than the day before, making many beautiful
pliced shots, while Williams had much less to do and did it well most of the
time. The summaries :

Longwood Women's Tournament
The meeting of Mrs. George W. Wightman and Miss Molla Bjurstedt In the
final round of the Longwood tournament for women was the chief feature of
the competition held on the dirt courts of the Longwood Cricket Club, Boston
during the week of September 27. It was a thrilling match, which' ran the
gamut for brilliant and crafty playing. Miss Bjurstedt won. The challenge-
round between Miss Edith Rotch. the holder of the title, and Miss Bjurstedt
was tame in comparison to the final round. Miss Bjurstedt again won this,
time in straight sets. '
The doubles went to Mrs. Wightman and Miss Eleanora Sears after a good
match featured by the occasional brilliance of Mrs. Wightman. Mrs. Wightman
proved a double winner, as she and H. C. Johnson captured the mixed doubles
A big upset occurred in this event when Miss Eleanora Sears and K. N Wil-'
liams. 2nd, were defeated by Miss Alice Thorndike and A. N. Regglo. The

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. Q^
Western Championships
By a. H. Lawson.
George M. Church of Princeton, who, in addition to intercollegiate champion,
has had many other tennis titles attached to his name, added another laurel to
his crown by defeating Alex. Squair in the challenge round of the twenty-sixth
annual tournament for the Western championship, held on the turf courts of
the Onwentsia Club, at Lake Forest. 111.
Walter T. Hayes and Ralph H. Burdick of Chicago won the right to compete
in the preliminaries of the National Doubles by defeating Heath Byford and
Alex. Squair.
The tournament was played under trying weather conditions, sundry showers
and occasional cloudbursts causing postponements of matches and defaults,
and affected the usual attendance in the galleries. One hundred and four sin-
gles entries and about fifty dout)les team entries were received, among which
were a number of players of national reputation, who were compelled to default
because of their inability to finish matches elsewhere on time. In spite of this
fact, the gallery enjoyed a week of excellent tennis.
In the first round Heath Byford. Illinois State champion, caused a sensation
by defeating W. M. Johnston of San Francisco, in three sets. Johnston won
the first set. allowing Byford only eighteen points for the nine games of the
frame, taking love games on Byford's service twice. Byford took the first game
of the second set. Johnston took the next three. With the score 4/3. In John-
ston's favor, each player won a deuce game. Byford followed with a love game
and only allowed the Californian two points in the three deciding games. In
the third and deciding set. with the score 4/1 against him, Byford made a sen-
sational rally and aided by Johnston's wildness took five straight games, win-
Ding the set and match. Johnston appeared nervous and unable to control his
strokes, going wild at several stages of the match. Byford. on the other hand,
played a steady and consistent game. Other than this, the early rounds fur-
nished no surprises.
By the time the third round was reached the rainy weather had go affected
the courts that play was very heavy. The balls became caked with mud and
frequently had to be changed. In spite of these adverse conditions, some Inter-
esting matches were staged.
A.J. Lindauer defeated Nat Thornton of Atlanta, Ga., one of the Southern dou-
bles champions, after dropping the first set. 3/6, 6/1, 6/3. Al Green. Michigan
singles champion, defeated Hal Gifford. former University of Chicago cham-
pion. The loser showed superior speed in the first set, winning 6/2, but was un-
able to keep up the pace, dropping the next two sets. 6/3. 6/1. In this round
Jerry Weber eliminated Ralph Burdick, runner-up in the City and State tourna-
ments, 6/4. 0/7. and In the fourth round Walter Hayes took Al Green Into
<'amp In a three-set match, 6/3, 3/6. 6/3. Joseph Armstrong, former Minne-
sota champion, defeated Lindauer. 6/2. 7/5. Byford defeated Weber. 6/2. 6/3.
The best match of the fifth round was played between M. G. Ketchum. for-
mer Californian. and Heath Byford. Ketchum showed flashes of excellent
tennis, but was erratic, while Byford. playing his usual steady game, won In
straight sets. 6/4. 6/3. Walter Hayes was "scheduled to play Joseph Armstrong
in this round, and the gallery was greatly disappointed when Armstrong, who
was obliged to return to his business in Philadelphia, defaulted. G. M. Church
easily defeated the veteran, J. C. Neely, and C. G. Hill, the former Tale player,
disposed of H. Raeder, Jr.
After a gruelling four-set doubles match. Hayes attempted to play G. M.
Church in the semi-final round, but his previous match made him an easy vic-
tim of the Princeton champion, who allowed him only five games in the three
sets. Byford defeated Hill in straight sets.
In the final round Byford was only able to break through Church's defense
for one set. He took the first three games, but Church, taking the fourth as a
love game on his own service by brilliant placing, won the next five games and
set. In the second set Church led at 5/3, but Bvford, fighting doggedlv. won
the next four games, taking the set. 7/5. The effort required to win the second
set proved too great for Byford, and he won only four games in the next two
sets.

Owin^ to weather conditions it was necessary to hold back the singles
niatches. in order to allow the doubles to be completed in time for the Western
champions to enga.ce in the sectional doubles, which were scheduled to go on

CARL R. GARDNER,
San Francisco.
Bay Counties Cliampion,
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 75
Pacific Coast Championships
By Cakl R. Gardxeu.
Three national champions, William Johnston (singles), Miss Bjurstedt
(women's singles) and Clarence Griffin (men's doubles with Johnston), were
thrown into the discard before the final rounds of the singles events, each by
players who were hardly considered serious contenders. Then, to make ruina-
tion more complete, the two strongest women's doubles teams in the vicinity
of San Francisco were put out by a pair of junior girls. Miss Marjorie Wale
and Miss Marjorie Thorn. The latter lost to Miss Bjurstedt and Mrs.
Wightman in the final round, however.
Herbert L. Hahn of Leland Stanford, Jr., University is the successor to
Champion Johnston in singles. San Franciscans gave him only an outside
chance to reach even the semi-final bracket, for Clyde Curley and Byron
Batkin were in his quarter, and the latter was freely picked to bracket with
GriflSn in the semi-final of the upper half. But Hahn came through, after
pulling out of almost bottomless holes in each match, and won from Griffin
in a five-set contest, which was chiefly featured by the soft, nervous lack-
luster play of the doubles champion. Hahn, however, showed he had superior
tennis in him and made a very favorable impression with his sound back
court play, finding holes in Griffin's net attacks with little trouble.
Meanwhile, H. Van Dyke Johns, also of Stanford University, reached the
final bracket with his teammate by disposing of national champion and two
times holder of the coast title, Johnston. The youngster was not expected
to get more than six or eight games from the champion, but after losing
the first set, 4/6, he took the next two at 6/4, 6/3. The fourth was
Johnston's at 6/3, but the Stanford youth took the fifth and match, 7/5.
This left people considerably stunned. Johnston showed hardly a vestige
of his real form, hitting wild most of the time, but, on the other hand, Johns
was revealed in a new light, playing far above his head. His volleying was
very clever, and he excelled in other departments as well.
The final match was a decided anti-climax. Hahn was awed, but Johns
was overawed by the realization of his win on the previous day, and the
resulting tennis was distinctly mediocre. Hahn was the less self-conscious
of the two, and his game proved superior to that of his teammate by three
sets to one, the scores being 6/1, 6/4, 3/6, 6/1.
Mrs. George Wightman took the women's singles title with little trouble,
defeating Miss Anita Myers in the final round, 6/3, 6/1. Miss Myers sprung
the surprise of the event and one of the three biggest of the tournament
when she won from Miss Molla Bjurstedt in the semi-final at 0/6, 6/4, 6/4.
The champion was winning so easily at the start that she unconsciously
slacked up and soon Miss Myers had her in difficulties, winning the second
set by dint of excellent placing with her chops and drives. In the third set
Miss Bjurstedt strove mightily to come back, but her pet drives missed by
Inches and she went down to defeat.
The victory of Mrs. Wightman brought her again into the roll of (!!ali-
fornia champions, where she once flourished and where Californians feel
she still belongs, in spite of her residence in Boston. In defeating Miss
Baker, State champion, 6/1, 6/0, and Miss Myers, Bay Counties champion,
6/3, 6/1, she showed almost all her old time skill, her volleying and general-
ship being predominant as in bygone years.
With George Wightman, Mrs. Wightman also took the mixed doubles,
winning from Miss Baker and Roberts in the final round, 6/2, 6/4. They
were too well balanced a team for the others to cope with. The surprise
of the event was the defeat of Miss Bjurstedt and Griffin by Miss Baker and
Roberts, 7/5, 2/6, 6/4.
Of course Miss Bjurstedt and Mrs. Wightman won the women's doubles,
meeting the junior girls, Marjorie Thorn and Marjorie W^ale, in the final and
taking the match at 6/2. 6/1. The junior team had previously upset predic-
tions by defeating the coast champions. Miss Tennant and Miss Tarilton, and
also the Misses Myers and Baker. The summaries :

San Francisco Championship
Fulfilling the expectations of the majority of tennis wiseacres in and
about San Francisco, John Strachan annexed the honors in the city cham-
pionship, which was brought to a close on Memorial Day, at the California
Lawn Tennis Club. Neither Johnston nor McLoughlin competed, but both
Griffin and Murray fell before Strachan's remarkable back court attack.
Griffin and Strachan met in the semi-final round, and the latter nmde short
shrift of his stubby opponent's careful game, tearing through him at 6/3,
6/2, 6/1. Murray, in the final, proved a much tougher problem, and it was
a wearing fight for every point, but Strachan held the edge and won in
straight sets, 7/5, 6/4, 8/6.
Contrary to expectations Murray played his opponent's game and stayed
in the back court, showing tremendous respect for Strachan's drives, which
found the holes in his defense at every opportunity.
Women's Round Robin Tournament in San Francisco
Miss Molla Bjurstedt regained all of the prestige she had lost through her
defeat by Miss Myers, the little San Francisco girl, in the Pacific Coast
championships, when she won the round robin event, with a perfect percen-
tage, one week later. This was played on the asphalt courts of the Cali-
fornia Lawn Tennis Club in San Francisco, November 12, 13 and 14, and
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy and Mrs. Hazel Hotchkiss Wightmau were the two
notables who contested her supremacy.
Each of the three matches was a revelation of superb women's tennis In
itself. When Miss Bjurstedt won from Mrs. Wightmau in a nerve-racking
match, 6/4, 5/7, 6/2 on the first day, the spectators felt sure they had seen
the match of the tournament. But that of the following day, in which Mrs.
Bundy defeated her old time rival, Mrs. Wightman, at 6/2, 4/6, 6/4, was, if
anything, even better. Mrs. Wightman braved the net a bit oftener in this
match than against the champion, and more pyrotechnics resulted — her vol-
leying being clever in the extreme. Mrs. Bundy, however, was tirelessly
steady with her forehand drive, and this gave her the victory.
The battle between Miss Bjurstedt and jNIrs. Bundy capped the climax in
every Vay. Both being remarkably fine backcourt players the rallies were
long and exciting. For a time it looked as though the "former world's cham-
pion would have matters all her own way, for she led at 5/2, but at that stage
the Norwegian girl began to overhaul her. As the match progressed Miss
Bjurstedt gained in confidence and accuracy, fighting desperately for every
point. The first set was hers at last at 10/8, a remarkable win, for on five
different occasions Mrs. Bundy was within a point of it. The second set
78 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
was less of a fight and Miss Bjurstedt won it at G/2. The Los Angeles
player showed the wear and tear of the first set and was unable to cover the
ground or hit with the customary steam in the second, although she never
stopped trying. The summaries :
Miss Bjurstedt d. Mrs. Wightman, 6/4, 5/7, 6/2 ; Miss Bjurstedt d. Mrs.
Bundy, 10/8, 6/2; Mrs, Bundy d. Mrs. Wightman, 6/2, 4/6, 6/4.
Oakland City Championship
■R. Lindley Murray moved from Palo Alto to Oakland, Cal,, just in time to
qualify as a resident of the latter city for the Oakland city championship,
which was held in May. on Saturday afternoons and Sundays.
In the singles he niet with very little opposition, going through without
the loss of a set. In the final round his victim was Henry Breck, former
University of California champion, whom he defeated, 6/1, 0/2, 9/7. Breck
was slow to start, but gave a good account of himself in the third set.
In the doubles INIvirray and Gardner had a close match with Breck and
Detrick in the semi-final", only winning at 6/2, 7/9, 0/4. In the final they
won in straight sets from Stanley Smith and E. A. Klein, but the games were
very close. Smith and Klein had previously defeated McLoughlin and Havens
and Bates and Murdock, both in straight sets, much to the surprise of all.
University of California Defeats Stanford
The Blue and Gold again waved triumphant over the Cardinal of Leland
Stanford, Jr., University when the University of California team took all of
the five matches on the last Saturday of April, 1915. Thus the nine new
asphalt courts of the University of California at Berkeley were gloriously
christened (from U. C's standpoint, at least).
The courts were a bit strange and fast for the Cardinal team so the best
it could do was to make a hard fight for one of the singles matches and both
doubles. The summaries :

Pacific Coast Doubles
By H. F. Weller.
Twenty-five teams entered the annual Pacific Coast championship tourna-
anent, held on the courts at Long Beach, Calif., the first week in July. As
"usual, the event was more or less of a walkaway for the San Franciscan
representatives. W. M. Johnston and C. J. Griffin of San Francisco ran
into trouble in just two of their matches and in these dropped only a single
set. Allyn Barber and Frank Hart took the opening set of their match with
the future champions at six games to four, but lost the next three in rotation,
6/2, 6/4, 6/4. In the semi-final, Clifton B. Herd and Ward Dawson won the
.second set of their match from the San Franciscans, but were never danger-
ous during the remainder of the match.
The Japanese team of Mykami and TTmetsu created a stir in the tourna-
.ment when they took a set from Browne and Wayne. The Japanese in
.Southern California are taking a great interest in tennis. The summaries :

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 81
Lawn Tennis in Southern California
By H. F. Weller.
The 1915 tennis season in Southern California was easily the most interest-
ing and successful in the history of the game. It starter! with the Southern
California Tennis Club's annual midwinter tournament the first week of the
year and ended in a lilaze of glory in the defeat of the national women's
champion, Miss Molla Bjurstedt, by Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, on December 11.
Ten tournaments of importance, aside from minor and intraclub affairs,
were held, and in every one high-class tennis was the rule. The season
apparently inaugurated a new era in Southern California tennis, as the
interest manifested by player and fan alike was much greater than ever
before, the competitions, without exception, drawing record entry lists.
Two events of national importance were included in the vear's activities,
namely, the Pacific Coast sectional doubles at Long Beach the first week in
July, won by Johnston and Griffin, and, in many ways, the most interesting
event of all, in November and December, the exhibition women's round robin
tournament, in which four figures of national and international reputation
took part.
Following Miss Bjurstedt's victory over Mrs. Bundy in San Francisco two
weeks earlier, the champion was conceded more than an even break to win in
the round robin event arranged for the Long Beach courts for Thanksgiving
Day and the following two days. In addition to these two the others to take
part in the tournament were Miss Mary K. Browne, three-time national cham-
pion, and Miss Florence Sutton, a sister to the former world's champion.
On the opening day Mrs. Bundy defeated Miss Bjurstedt in hollow style,
6/1, 6/4. Playing a careful game all the way and avoiding the lines. Mrs.
Bundy allowed the Norwegian girl to defeat herself on errors. Mrs. Bundy
scored only eight placements to her opponent's eighteen, but the champion's
mark for errors reached fifty-five, while Mrs. Bundy had but thirty. In the
second match of the afternoon Miss Florence Sutton won from Miss Mary
Browne in straight sets, 6/4, 6/3.
The second day's matches were between Miss Browne and Mrs. Bundy and
Miss B.iurstedt and Miss Sutton. Miss Browne sprung a decided surprise
when she defeated Mrs. Bundy in straight sets, 6/4, 6/3, Miss Browne's driv-
ing and court-covering being a revelation. Miss Bjurstedt was given a fairly
iard battle by Miss Sutton, but the latter was unable to take a set.
On Saturday, Miss B.iurstedt defeated Miss Browne, 2/6, 6/3, 6/4, in a
match which produced the best women's tennis play ever seen on the Pacific
Coast. At the end of the three sets each player had won 86 points, and the
game score was 14 to 13 in favor of Miss B.iurstedt. Mrs. Bundy had little
trouble disposing of her sister, and the two stars were left tied in the round
robin, each having won two and lost one match. Each also held a victory
over the other. Miss Bjurstedt having defeated Mrs. Bundy in San Francisco,
while Mrs. Bundy had turned the tables in the Thanksgiving Day match. A
play-off was finally arranged for the same courts on December ll.
Both players had rested during the intervening two weeks, and the first
game proved that the match would be a battle royal. Mrs. Bundy went after
every ball ; she played her strokes t^ the lines as she had not done in the
previous match, and her accurate placing brought her round after round of
applause from the immense gallery.
Mrs. Bundy won the first set at 6 games to 3. but dropped the second when
Miss Bjurstedt came to the front with a whirlwind attack. It appeared for
a time as if the efforts of this set would prove too much for Mrs. Bundy, but
she came back after the rest and simply swept Miss Bjurstedt off her feet,
taking the set at 6 games to 2 and the match, two sets to one.

SPALI>ING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 87
New England Championships
F. H. Harris, an old Dartmouth College player, won the singles honors in
the fourteenth annual tournament for the New England championship, played
on the courts of the Hartford (Jolf Club, Hartford, Conn., beginning June 8.
R. Lindley Murray, who won the previous year, was unable to defend, so the
title went to Harris by default. The latter met A. Ware Merriam of New
Britain, Conn., in the final round and won in a well played four-set match.
One of the most interesting matches in the singles was the semi-final round
between Harris and W. S. Cushing. Jr., a Rhodes scholar who had much Eng-
lish experience at Oxford University. Harris' steadiness at' critical points of
the match prevailed, and when the third set was reached his speed was too
much for the other man, and Cushing won only two games.
In the doubles, Cushing played with J. A. Richards, and the pair made a
splendid combination. Of the four matches they played through the tourna-
ment, not one was captured easily, but whenever the pinch came they were as
steady as a rock and pulled through the draw as the final winners. They
defeated J. M. Holconibe, Jr., and Philip Roberts in the final round in an
interesting four-set encounter. The summaries :

•of Jackson, N. H., held its seventh annual open tournament for the championship of
the east side of the White Mountains, New Hampshire, August 9. The exceptionally
large entry of about 140, a new locker building, a large gallery and the high class of
tennis made the tournament a pronounced success. The singles title was won by Cedric
A. Major of New York, giving him one leg on the three-year club cup. Charles I.
Johnston, Jr., won in 1913 and Frederick R. Budlong in 1914. Major's opponent in the

Lawn Tennis in Dawson, Yukon Territory, Canada. — "The popularity of the tennis
•court during the past season and the tremendous momentum wliich the sport acquired
was far reaching," writes Frank Noziglia. "The Yukon Tennis Club, which claims
the honor of being one of the northernmost, if not the northernmost, tennis club in
the world, enjoyed during the summer of 1915 the most successful season of its career.
The playing began earlier than usual, the first games taking place in April and long
before the ice in the Y'^ukon went out from in front of Dawson, being the earliest start
in the history of the club. The play continued until far into September. In the tourna-
ment, which rounded out the season, the results were as follows: Men's singles, Sid-
ney F. Chamberlain; men's doubles, W. G. Radford and Henry Gordon McLeod;
"women's singles. Miss Bess L. Edwards; women's doubles. Miss A. F. Robinson and
jMiss Hilda Potter; mixed doubles, Sidney F. Chamberlain and Mrs. Arthur Ross. The
oflBcers of the club for the season of 1915 were: F. C. 0. Edwards, president; Colin
Dunlop Hart, vice-president; J. H. Roberts, secretary-treasurer; executive committee,
F. A. H. Sitwell, Frank Noziglia, Sidney F. Chamberlain; women's committee, Mrs.
Agnes McLeod, Mrs. G. B. Edwards and Lilly Thompson."

Belt tournament, held at Neodesha, Kans., beginning August 17. Pettit was some-
what handicapped by the fact that he had two hard matches the day before, while
Teachenor was comparatively fresh. The latter's service was a factor In enabling
him to win. R. E. Black and Don Cooper defeated W. A. Penley and D. K. Campbell
hy default in the final round of doubles.

Tri-State Tournament
By Gordon E. Small.
The seventeenth annual Tri-State tournament for the championships of
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky was held on the courts of the Cincinnati Tennis
Club, September 11 to 18. The entry list was the classiest in the history
of the Tri-State, containing as it did the newly crowned national champions
of all three branches of the sport, W. M. Johnston, Clarence J. Griffin and
Miss Molla Bjurstedt. Other notables were Elia Fottrell, who came all the
way from San Francisco for this tournament ; Irving C. Wright, Nat Emerson
and John C. Neely. To give the finishing touch to the competition, Maurice
E. McLoughlin stopped over for one day and played in exhibition matches
with Johnston, Griffin and Fottrell.
Owing to the strain incident to winning the national championships, held
just before the Tri-State. Johnston did not compete in the singles, which was
won by Griffin, who literally waded his way through the tournament, win-
ning five-set matches on successive days from Nat Emerson, Trux Emerson
and Fottrell. The challenge round with W. S. McEllroy of Pittsburgh was
rather tame, Griffin winning easily in straight sets.
Miss Bjurstedt proved much too strong for her opponents in the women's
events, going through the tournament without losing a set. Paired with
Miss Carrie B. Neely of Chicago, she also won the doubles from Mrs. Mal-
colm McNeil of Chicago and ^Miss Ruth Sanders of Cincinnati.
In the fifth round of the men's singles, Nat Emerson, the old Cincinnati
player, now a resident of Memphis, Tenn., gave Grifiin the fight of his life.
Nat won the first two sets. Griffin seeming to underestimate him. Griffin
took the third, but Emerson came back in the fourth and led at 5'3, but
Griffin. l)y a supreme effort, deuced the set and won out at To. In the final
set Griffin got to 5/3, but Emerson was not to be denied. He deuced the set
and forced Griffin to 8/6 before lowering his colors. This match lasted two
hours and fifty minutes, and both contestants were exhausted at the finish.
Dr. Karl Little of Cincinnati forced Irving Wright to go five sets in this
round. Wright's tantalizing placing shots finally wore the doctor out, the
last two sets being easy at 6/1, 6/2.
In the semi-final Griffin defeated Trux Emerson of Cincinnati in another
long-drawn-out, five-set match, while Fottrell disposed of Wright in straight
sets. Fottrell looked very good in this match, his serve going great.
The final round, bringing Griffin against Fottrell, proved to be almost a
repetition of the clay court final of 1914. played on the same court. Fottrell
started in with a whirl and took the first two sets easily. He lost his grip
in the third and Griffin, coming strong, landed it at 6/4. The last two sets
were Griffin's at all stages, as he grew stronger right along and took every
advantage of Fottrell's evident nervousness and anxiety. The defeat was a
sad blow to Fottrell, who had hoped to avenge the loss of the clay court
championship the year before.
In the challenge round McEllroy was no match for Griffin. The match was
played on a dark day, and during the last set rain was falling. This forced
McEllroy to remove his glasses, which doubtless caused him much inconveni-
ence. He gamely continued to play, however, and deserves much credit for
his showing under such adverse conditions.
In the men's doubles, R. A. Holden, the old Yale crack, and Trux Emerson
proved unexpectedly strong, defeating Fottrell and Wright in the semi-final,
6/2, 6/0, 6 1. In the final round they forced the new national champions,
Johnston and Griffin, to extend themselves in an interesting match, the scores
being 8/6, 5/7, 6/1, 6/4.
In the women's singles Miss Bjurstedt won from Miss Carrie B. Neely of
Chicago in the final, 6/2, 6/1. In the challenge round, Miss Bjurstedt dis-
posed of Miss Ruth Sanders, 6/0, 6 4. Miss Sanders held her own at straight
driving and backhand work, but the champion's serve and net work were too
much for her.
In the exhibition matches, which were played before a record crowd,
McLoughlin won a rather tame set from Johnston at 6/4.

The doubles brought out some fine tennis. Johnston and GrifBn winning

rain. The summaries :

Intercollegiate Championships
Richard Norris Williams, 2nd, representing Harvard University, was the star
in the thirty-fifth intercollegiate championship, played on the turf courts of
the Merion Cricket Club at Haverford, Pa., beginning September 13. Williams
not only won the singles, but also the doubles, paired with Richard Harte.
The tournament was the third struggle for the seven-point Harrison K.
Caner championship trophy, which was put into competition in 1913. As Har-
vard won both events, the score now stands : Harvard, 5 points, and Prince-
ton, 1 point. The Cambridge university, therefore, needs only two more points
for permanent possession of the trophy.
The following seven institutions sent teams to compete : Harvard, Dartmouth,
Princeton, Yale and Cornell universities ; University of Pennsylvania, and
Dartmouth College. Amherst and Haverford college's and the University of
Pittsburgh, which competed the previous year, failed to enter the 1915 tour-
nament.
In the singles, Williams was forced to extend himself in only one match,
that against his teammate, G. Colket Caner, in the third round, who carried
the ex-champion to two deuce sets, 8/6 and 7/5. What was expected to prove
his hardest match, that with Leonard Beel^man of Princeton in the final, was
in reality his easiest. Williams routed his opponent in straight sets.
In the doubles, Williams and Harte successfully defended their title in
rather hollow fashion, losing only two sets, one to J. R. Rowland and J. S.
Disston, University of Pennsylvania, in the semi-final round, and the other to
Caner and Curtis of Harvard, in the final. The summaries :

Western Intercollegiate Championships
By a. H. Lawson.
The Western intercollegiate tennis tournament, generally known as the Con-
ference tournament, for the season of 1915, was held on the courts of the
University of Chicago, May 28 to 31.
Carran of Ohio State University, by steady and consistent playing, captured
the singles championship by defeating Bennett of Chicago in the final round,
C/1, 1/6, 6/3, 6/2. This is the first time in the history of Conference tour-
naments that the singles championship has been won by any other than a
representative of the University of Chicago or Minnesota.
The doubles championship was won by McNeil and Gross of the University
of Chicago, who defeated James and James of Northwestern University, in a
hotly contested four-set match.
Probably the most interesting match in the tournament occurred in the semi-
iinal round, when the James boys of Northwestern, after having been defeated
two love sets, turned the tables on their opponents, Smith and Kennedy of
University of Minnesota, and defeated them the next three sets.

Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Tournament
The year 1915 saw a remarkable growth in the interest in tennis among col-
leges in the- Rocky Mountain Conference. In the spring intercollegiate tour-
nament, held in Denver, May 23, the Universities of Colorado and Utah, the
Colorado State College, and the Colorado School of Mines were represented.
The Utah men, Gibbs and Little, had everything their own way in singles, and
coming through to the final round in the two halves of the draw, went home
without playing the deciding match.
Colorado won the doubles after a gruelling battle in the final round. Wells
and Scott, the Colorado combination, defeated Gibbs and Little in a five-set
match, the last set of which went to 11/9. Victory in the doubles would give
Colorado the edge, according to intercollegiate rules in the East, though no
such ruling has been agreed to by the Western institutions.
Dual meets marked the collegiate programme in the autumn. Three of these
meets were held. Colorado College defeated the State University, five matches
to one, losing only the No. 1 doubles. University of Colorado, in turn, won
from University of Denver and the Missouri School of Mines by decisive score0.

Interscholastic Championships
Eight players contested for the interscholastic championship, held in con-
nection with the national championsnip on the courts of the West Side Tennis
Club, Forest Hills, L. I., beginning September 1. The title narrowed down to
a contest between Harold A. Throckmorton, Princeton, and Charles S. Gar-
land, Yale, and the former won in a four-set match. It was good tennis all
the way through. Throckmorton's strength lay in his comparative steadiness.
He did not sacrifice everything for speed. Garland was prepared for speed,
but not for steadiness, and it took a little time for him to adapt himself to

Western Interscholastic Championships
By a. H. Lawson.
The annual tournament for the Western interscholastic championships, held
under the auspices of the University of Chicago, proved to be the best junior
tournament ever held in the W^est. There were 104 entries, representing over
thirty schools, and by good management the tournament was completed in
three days. The players made a splendid showing, and it is predicted that
some of them will give a good account of themselves in future events. Pike,
a University High School boy, who is only fifteen years old, sprung a surprise
when he eliminated Swift of the Evans School, Mesa, Ariz., in the singles semi-
finals. McKay of the Evanston High School defeated Pike in the final, 7/5,
6/4. 6/1. Carver and Terhune. Hyde Park High School, won the doubles
championship by defeating McLaughlin and Fox of Lane High School. The

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 101
Newport Invitation Tournament
The first annual invitation tournament at Newport, R. I., was held on
the Newport Casino courts, beginning August 16, and v/as an unqualified
success. There were only fifty entries, but among these were most of the
high-class players of the country. The tournament was marked by splendid
weather, excellent management, and courts that were as near perfect as
could be.
As generally predicted, the final round of the singles brought together
Richard Norris Williams, 2nd, and Maurice E. McLoughlin, and after four
well-fought sets Williams was returned the victor. Williams lost the first
set through errors, and in the other three he was clearly the better man.
This superiority was manifest in the third and especially in the fourth set.
Williams was confident throughout, while McLoughlin knew that his strokes
were not going properly, and was plainly disturbed over the matter.
There were eighteen "teams entered in "the doubles event, the finalists being
C. J. Griffin and W. M. Johnston against R. N. Williams, 2nd, and W. M.
Washburn. The former dropped the third set, but won the first, second and
fourth and the match. The victors' team work was better than their oppo-
nents', and they made fewer mistakes. Washburn was appreciably below his
form and made many almost inexcusable errors. Yet with all this they gave
the Californians a good fight, and there were times when it seemed as if they
might draw level and provide a five-set match. The summaries :

102 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
Seabri^ht Invitation Tournament
Richard Norris Williams, 2nd. as in 1914, won the Achelis Cup, a handsome
trophy donated by the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club to the winner
of singles in the annual invitation tournament. Last season's tournament was
opened on August 8, and altogether was highly successful.
Karl H. Behr got to the final round of the singles and there met Maurice E.
McLoughlin and defeated him in straight sets. He next challenged Williams
and lost to him in four sets. McLoughlin and Ward Dawson, paired in the
doubles, won rather a hollow victory from Leonard Beekman and L. E. Mahan.
The match between Behr and McLoughlin was sensational. At first Behr
was winning, but it seemed to be almost certain that he could not stand the
pace, but resting between points gave him strength. He did not get any worse
after the middle of the match, for this did not seem possible ; but at no time
did he come anj^where near reaching a normal condition. He gave a magnifi-
cent exhibition of high and horizontal volleying, and it was a rare thing for
any of his volleys to come back.
McLoughlin was but a shadow of himself. There was nothing aggressive or
speedy about his game and his errors bulked big. There were occasional
flashes of the old McLoughlin, of course, but they merely served to emphasize
the temporary decline manifested in his play. The gallery scarcely knew what
to make of it all. The idea of the mighty McLoughlin being defeated could
scarcely be entertained, and when it became certain that such a calamity was
impending they were stunned.
In the challenge round Williams started slowly and rather uncertainly. But
once he warmed to his work he had command of the situation and hit with
great speed and accuracy. Behr was not playing as well as against McLough-
lin the day before. Williams, however, kept the balls close to the ground and
did not give Behr an opportunity to "whale" them. Furthermore. Williams
almost never lobbed, and Behr was thus deprived of the opportunity to get in
his powerful volleys of this shot. Unquestionably Behr was affected oy his
tremendous match of Friday, and he did not have the speed of foot that he
exhibited against McLoughlin. But when he did rush the net he was fre-
quently passed, or, if not passed, had to meet powerful shots that were exceed-
ingly difficult to handle effectively. He fully equaled Williams in battles at the
net, and several times got the advantage in fast rallies. The summaries :

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNDAL. 105
Sleepy Hollow Invitation Tournament
By W. B. Mahony.
The spring tournament of the Sleepy Hollow Country Club, at Scarborough-
on-Hudson, has undoubtedly taken its place as the leading invitation event hel(J
on clay courts, and stands in the same relative position as the tournaments at
Newport. Seabright and Southampton for turf courts.
Following the inauguration of the fixture in 1914, when R. Lindley Murray
won his real introduction to Eastern notice, through defeats of such leaders as
Alexander, Hall and B^^hr in the final day's play, it is interesting to find that
the entries for the 1915 tournament, beginning May 17, included every member
residing in the Metropolitan district, ranked among the "Forty Immortals" in
this country.
A challenge bowl, replica of a gold Greek cup, was established by the gover-
nors of the club, this trophy to be inscribed with the name of the winner in
singles, and to become the property of the player who won the tournament
three times. There were thirty-two entered in the singles and sixteen pairs in
the doubles, and hereafter the entries will be held within these limits.
The schedule provided for a week's play, to end on Saturday, May 22. Due
to rain, however, the finals were postponed, so that Karl Behr participated to
the extent of an exhibition match with Touchard. Owing to the cold weather
during the tournament the gallery was cut down, so that a request will be
made to the National Association to set aside the week ending with Memorial
Day as a permanent annual fixture for this event.
T. R. Pell, after disposing of Dionne and Merrill Hall, was compelled, by an
engagement to play at Tuxedo, to default to Touchard, and for the same reason
Inman, after winning from C. M. Bull, Jr., and Cedric Major, defaulted to
Alexander. Dean Mathey, after dropping the first set, at 6/4. to Harold
Throckmorton, put the youthful expert out of the running and then took the
measure of Le Roy. at 6/3, 6/3. Watson Washburn won from Halsey Wood
and Alrick Man, Jr., l)ut succumbed to Alexander l)y the score of 6 4, 2/6, 6/3.
King Smith won a close battle from Lovibond by the score of 7/5. 6/3, and
Graves had an easy win from Thurber. at 6/0, 6/3. Alexander won rather
easily from Voshell, at 6/2, 6/1, and then outplayed the Englishman, Andrews,
at 6/1, 6/1. Touchard. after playing rather uncertainly agaiast Cushman,
Tallant and Mathey, reached the top of his game in his final match with Alex-
ander, which he won after a hard fight, with the brilliant tennis of which he
is sometimes capable, by the score of 1/6. 6/4, 6/2. 12/10.
The final set to determine the winner of the honor of being the first whose
name would be inscril)ed upon the challenge bowl was fiercely fought, and
some of the most sensational tennis ever witnessed brought enthusiastic
applause from the gallery. Touchard. playing in deadly earnest, pulled off
shots little short of marvelous, and landed the set. match and tournament.
In the doubles. Le Roy and Mathey went through the field, defeating, in suc-
cession. Bull and Thurber. Major and Man. and. after accepting a default from
Hall and King Smith, who had previously defeated Pell and Inman, came to
the finals with the famous players Hackett and Alexander, who had won from
Graves and Lovibond, the schoolboy combination, Throckmorton and Dunham,
and the indoor champions, Touchard and Washburn, all in straight sets. Before
the largest gallery of the week, the former National doubles champions went
to defeat before the heavy attack of Le Roy and Mathey. The latter per-
formed brilliantly overhead and, backed by his partner's capable ground
strokes, won the first set, at 7/5. After gaining a lead, at 4/2 and 5/4, with
40-love, in the second set. Le Roy and Mathey gave way before the veterans,
who won. at 8/6. The effort of the older pair', however, "proved their undoing,
for the last set went to the more youthful combination, at love.
The umpiring was skillfully handled by Messrs. Conlin and Cunningham,
who acted in similar capacities" at the Nationals, held later at Forest Hills, and
F. M. B. Fisher of Wellington. New Zealand, who was one of Anthony Wild-
ing's closest friends. Walter B. Mahony, chairman of the tennis committee,
acted as referee of the tournament. The "summaries :

Lawn Tennis in the Metropolis

Metropolitan Championships
By Edmund W. Putnam.
The annual tournament for the Metropolitan championships had, previous
to 1915, always been held at the West Side Tennis Club. Last season, how-
ever, the competition was shifted to the courts of the Bronxville Athletic
Association, at Bronxville, just outside of New York. Some fear was expressed
that this removal from the metropolitan center might seriously affect the
number of entries, but a list of seventy-nine names in the singles and twenty
pairs in the doubles, comprising nearly every well rated player within com-
fortable reach of New York, completely dispelled any anxiety on this point.
Tennis Courts of the Bronxville Athletic Association, scene of the
Metropolitan Championships, 1915.
f That the innovation proved in fact a most successful one, was due in large
part to the efforts of the members of the home club, who lent every assistance
possible to demonstrate that a small suburban club could run off this important
tournament with an efficiency well comparable to that always displayed by
that monarch of tennis clubs, the West Side. Two of the members in particu-
lar were responsible for the general satisfaction which was expressed by the
players. William Bagley, the president, devoted every day for nearly three
weeks to a supervision of the resurfacing of the courts, that these might be
as nearly perfect as possible, and to the arrangements necessary for the
players' comfort and convenience. J. L. Robertson, Jr., the referee, spent
much time beforehand and the whole of the tournament week to the organiz-
ing and directing of a staff of umpires and officials recruited from the club
members. This management carried through the tournament absolutely ou
schedule time, despite two rainy afternoons.
I Watson M. Washburn, for the second time, won the singles, and the team
,of Harold H. Hackett and W. Merrill Hall annexed the doubles.
1, Miss Florence Ballin, a prominent player of the West Side Tennis Club of New
York; 2, Mrs. Barger-Wallach, who has done much for tennis in the East; 3, Mrs.
Rawson Wood, a well-known Eastern expert.
y SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. Ill
The first and second round matches were, with one exception, won in
straight sets and. for the most part, rather easily. B. M. Phillips defeated
Ralph Baggs, 6/3, 6/4, in a match that was closer than the score shows.
Hartman and Ostendorf indulged in a real battle in the second round, the former
upsetting expectations and winning, 6/1, 9/7. The playing of C. E. Gleason
•against Dr. Rosenl^aum occasioned some surprise, and drew tlie best gallery
■of the day. Rosenbaum, after losing the first set, drew upon his greater
court experience and won out, 5/7. 6/2, 6/3. In the Inman and Arthur Cragin
match the latter played in good form and for a time it seemed possible that
he would win, but Inman's vicious left-hand service was working extremely
well, and his accuracy in killing at the net was too deadly. The Washburn
and Dionne match was a revelation of steadiness. Dionne led in the first set,
.'5/3, but Washburn from then on followed to the net and ran out the match
comfortablv.
On the following day Bassford. playing against Inman, lobbed, as usual,
so successfully that Inman was forced to his best tennis. The latter's steadi-
ness overhead and his sharp cross-court volleys gave him the match, 10/8, 6/4.
In this round much interest was shown in the Beekman and Throckmorton
set-to, the terrific speed of both youngsters contrasting with the more careful
play of many of the older entrants. Beekman's superior control gave him his
bracket handily at 6/2, 6/4. "Vandy" Ward and Hartman also engaged in a
liard driving match, being interrupted by rain, with a score of one set-all.
On the following day Ward won the third set with no great difficulty.
The Beekman and Inman match in the fifth round was by far the most
Interesting in the tournament and kept a large gallery in delighted suspense.
The veteran was picked to win, but young Beekman, playing with great steadi-
ness and, at times, with brilliancy, pulled out the first set, 8/6, after having
seen the score posted four games to one against him. Inman seemed to tire
in the second set and the Princeton boy took the match, 8/6, 6/1.
Neither of the semi-finals were the exciting contests they promised to be.
Beekman, playing IjC Roy, seemed over-anxious and showed none of the tennis
he had displayed the previous day. The pretty shots, just dropping the ball
over the net, and the sharp cross-courting, which had proved of such value
against Inman, would not work. Le Roy's passing was speedy and sure, but
It was Beekman's errors which gave the older man his final round bracket,
The Ward and Washburn match was a real disappointment. The gallery
looked forward to watching again the whirlwind drives of tlie youthful "south-
paw " but, after starting wildly, Ward discarded speed entirely and tried to
meet Washburn at the latter's old deep, placing game. Washburn won the
first set by sound backcourt plav, but in the second, erred so frequently that
Ward took the set. 6/2. The third set was a case of "one was scared and
t'other dassen't," for whichever went to the net was promptly passed. Wash-
hum was just a bit steadier and won, 7/5.
In the final round, Washburn's steady deep driving mastered his opponent
easily for two sets. In the third set LeRoy braced and took the lead at 4/2.
Washburn picked up the next three games and, though LeRoy deuced the set,
ran out at 7/5. LeRoy's unsteady service cost him many points, often at the
critical moment. , , , „ ,,
The doubles ran true to prophecy, Hackett and Hall coming through with
comfortable ease. The only real struggle for them was the first set of the
final against Lovibond and Steinkampf, and this brought out exceedingly good
and very close tennis, the former pair just pulling out the set at 10/8. The
losers being broken by the loss of this exhausting set were able to take but
three games in the second set and none in the third. Summaries :

West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, L. I., beginning May 10. Miss Molla Bjur-
Btedt won the singles title, succeeding Mrs. Edward Raymond, who was not
represented in the tournament. The victory of the Norwegian girl was well
deserved, for she defeated Mrs. A. G. Miles, Mrs. Barger Wallach and Mrs.
Marshall McLean.
In the final round of the doubles fine team work and unusual steadiness
enabled Mrs. McLean and Mrs. Miles to sweep Miss Bjurstedt and Miss
Florence Ballin from their path.
The mixed doubles brought out a classy field, but owing to postponements,
due to rain, the final round was not played until May 26. at the Morristown
Field Club. Miss Bjurstedt and F. C. Inman won, after dropping the first set.

West Side Tennis Club Women's Championships
The West Side Tennis Club's championships for women, played at the
Forest Hills, L. I., grounds of the club in May, attracted a large field, the
players being divided into classes according to the skill of the contestants.
Miss Molla Bjurstedt, the distinguished Norwegian player, who became a mem-
ber of the club since taking up her residence in New York, carried off the
singles honors in Class A by defeating Mrs. Marshall McLean in two straight

Mixed Doubles Tournament
The mixed doubles tournament played in conjunction with the national
championship at the West Side Tennis Club, brought out a notable field of
women players, no fewer than six of the sixteen engaged having been national
champions or ex-champions. It was arranged that the winners in the invita-
tion singles, held on the courts of the Rockaway Hunting Club, at Cedarhurst,
should have the first choice of the men players for the mixed event, and the
winner of the singles, Mrs. Wightman, selected her husband as a partner,
while Miss Bjurstedt, the runner-up, chose Irving C. Wright. Neither of these
teams, however, reached the finals.
Mrs. George Chapman and George M. Church were the ultimate winners of
the tournament, and they put up a strong game. Perhaps their closest match
was in the second round against Miss Clare Cassel and Clarence J. Grittin ;
but in the finals the result hung on a thread until the last stroke was played.
They met Miss Marie Wagner and W. Merrill Hall, and after winning a love
set, lost the second almost as easily by 6/1. The deciding set was fought out
amidst great excitement right up to the last point, but Church was every-
where about the court, and Mrs. Chapman supported him well, camping at
the net and volleying finely. The summaries :

Sullivan County (N. Y.) Championships
W. Halsey W^ood. captain of the New York Lawn Tennis Club team, won his
second leg on the Frederick B. Alexander challenge cup in the tournament for
the Sullivan County championship, held on the courts of the Merriwold Tennis
Club, Merriwold, N. Y.. during the week of August 9. Alfred Shriver, the
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. US'
Williams College expert, won his way to the final round by an exhibition of
sterling tennis, but in his match with W. Halsey Wood he went down to defeat
in straight sets. , ^,. , „ , ^v.
Wood and W. C. de Mille each have two legs on the challenge cup, and the
meeting of this pair in 191G for permanent possession of the trophy is bound
to furnish a rare and exciting battle.
The final round in the doubles brought forth the finest exhibition of tennis
ever witnessed on the Merriwold courts. F. B. Alexander and William J.
Clarke of the West Side Tennis Club. New York, were pitted against the
brothers Wood. W. Ilalsey and A. H. The former pair swept everything before
them in the first two sets, but in the third the Wood brothers adopted the
reverse formation which their older opponents had used throughout the match,
and at a time when thev seemed doomed to defeat, by taking a series of des-
perate chances, pulled out the set and won at 7/5. After the intermission they
played with greater confidence and. with almost perfect team play, won the
final two sets and championship. The heat was terrific, and the veterans tired
perceptibly toward the close of the match. The summaries:

Massachusetts State Championship
George P. Gardner, Jr., of Boston supplanted Nat W. Niles as Massachusetts
■champion, in the annual tournament held on the courts of the Longwood
Cricket Club, beginning June 12. Good weather prevailed throughout the com-
petition, and the matches were run off in good order.
The final match between Gardner and A. S. Dabney brought out some fine
tennis. After losing two sets, the latter held on gamely through the third
and was rewarded by finally capturing it after a deuce struggle, 9/7. When
play was resumed for the fourth set, however, it was apparent that the effort
in the third had exhausted Dabney, and he was never dangerous in the last
set. which went to Gardner, 6/2.
The challenge round was even more drawn out than the final, and it was
anybody's victory up to the very last stroke played. Gardner won the first set.
but Niles took the second and third after deuce had been called. W^ith two sets
to one against him, however, the challenger ncA'er faltered, and he went into
ttie fourth set wath as much determination as ever, finally evening up the score.
The fifth and deciding set found both men distinctly tired and the play slowed
up in consequence. Gardner seemed the steadier at the critical points, and
after several exciting climaxes he took the set, 6/4, and with it the match and
championship title. The summaries :

New York State Championships
William S. McEllroy of Pittsburgh, Pa., was the premier performer at the
New York State championship tournament, which was held on the courts
of the Yahnundasis Golf Club. Utica. N. Y., from July 3 to 10. He not only
won the singles, defeating F. C. Inman in the final round, but took the
doubles as well, with C. S. Garland, also of Pittsburgh, as a partner.
The tournament, which was transferred from the Crescent Athletic Club
of Brooklyn, was a complete success. The singles brought out an entry list
of seventy players, while there were twenty-two players in the doubles.
There were no women's events, but instead there were exhibitions given by
Miss Molla B.iurstedt and Miss Florence Ballin.
The out-of-town entry list included Fred. C. Inman, a former New York
State title holder; Fred. H. Harris, a former winner of the Central New
York title ; Irving C. W^right and A. W. Merriam of Boston ; William S.
McEllroy, Charles S. Garland and Herbert Lytle of Pittsburgh ; Vanderbilt
B. Ward, Dr. William Rosenbaum. Arthur Cragin and Paul Treanor of New
York city: W. T. Tilden, Jr., H. M. Tilden and Sidney Thayer. Jr., of Phila-
delphia ; A. J. Veysey of Montreal ; A. M. Richards, the Wesleyan crack ;
Homer Guernsey of Poughkeepsie ; A. H. Allen of Hoosick Falls. N. Y. ; Paul
Sheldon of Hartford : Albert T. Spaulding and Howard Bissell of Buffalo, and
H. C. Harrison of Montclair, N. J.
The final round of singles played July 10 was somewhat of an anti-elimax.
McEllroy was right on edge, while Inman was feeling the effects of two hard
matches" the day before. The younger player showed sound judgment in play-
ing his opponent safe and forcing him to do the leading. Inman tried to do

this in the first set, but he found McEllroy always equal to the emergency.
At S-all the Pittsburgher broke away and ran out the set. The next two were
easy for him. He worked just hard enough to get the lead and keep it. His
shots had both pace and direction and he passed Inman repeatedly as the
latter came to the net. It was the second meeting of the two men, McEllroy
having won at Buffalo in 1912.
There was nothing very exciting in the early rounds of the doubles event.
In the third round Richards and Veysey made a good fight against Inman
and Wright, the latter pair winning in two close sets. Merriam and Sheldon
held Ward and Rosenbaum to 5-all in the first set and then the latter pair
drew away. The other third rouhd matches went much the same way —
close for a set and then rather one-sided. Both the semi-final round matches
were well contested and interesting.
There was plenty of good and bad tennis in the final round. McEllroy and
Garland used their heads better than their opponents and were less liable
to be ruffled when things went wrong f^r them ; and in the pinches they stood
the strain better than Ward and Rosenbaum. They lobbed a lot and nearly
all of the lobs were short and could have been summarily dealt with. But
Rosenbaum was hopelessly off in his overhead work, and this seemed to affect
Ward also, the Pittsburgh pair winning in a five-set match. The summaries :

Pennsylvania State Championships
In the tournament for the Pennsylvania State championships, held on the
courts of the Merion Cricket Club at Haverford, Pa., during the week of June
14, Joseph J. Armstrong won the honors in the singles, and Wallace F. John-
son and A. D. Thayer in the doubles. In the absence of R. N. Williams, 2nd,
the 1914 champion, there was no challenge round, and the title went to Arm-
strong by default.
In the final round of the singles, Armstrong defeated Johnson in a stub-
bornly contested four-set match. The victor played consistently to Johnson's
backhand, with the result that the latter ran around everything'^he could. But
it was Armstrong's volleying, coupled with Johnson's erratic overhead play,
that won the battle for Armstrong.
Johnson and Thayer defeated Dr. E. S Dewhurst and J. R. Carpenter, Jr.,

West Virginia State Championships
By Ed. O. Bower.
The tenth annual invitation tennis tournament for the championship of
West Virginia opened on Monday, August 9, with a classy entry of forty
players, on the clay courts of the Parkersburg Country Club, Parkersburg.
W. Va.
132 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
The tennis was of a high order throughout the tournament, and deserving of
special mention was the splendid form displayed by T. McK. Cummins of
Wheeling, the former Cornell captain, who played through to the finals with-
out the loss of a set, and, partnered with Arthur Ebbert, also of Wheeling, won
the doubles title.
R. A. Johnson, last year's singles champion, was looked upon by many to be
one of the finalists, but lost in the semi-finals to Hugus of Wheeling, after
having won the first set at 6/1 and holding a lead of 4/0 in the second, which
was finally won by the Wheeling player at 8/6, and also the deciding set at
6/3. Hugus. however, in the finals was unable to make any headway against
the American twist service and the excellent court work of Cummins, and suc-
cumbed in straight sets.
The doubles produced a number of surprises, one of which was the defeat of
Beattie and Hugus of Wheeling, last year's champions, by Barron Hall and
Langdon White of Parkersburg in the second round, after a hard fought match,
7/5, 1/6 and 7/5. By excellent team work and steady playing the Parkersburg
players won their place in the final bracket, only to lose to Cummins and
Ebbert in another stubbornly contested match, which went the limit of five
sets. The summaries :

Florida State Championships, 1915
The sixth annual tournament for the championships of Florida, played at the
Palm Beach Tennis Club, beginning February 27. 1915, was the most successful
in the history of the competition. George M. Church, who had obtained a leg
on the handsome cup presented by Mrs. Henry M. Flagler, came through the
tournament after close matches with Irving C. Wright and J. D. E. Jones, and
earned the right to challenge Theodore R. Pell, who had two legs on the cup.
This encounter resulted in a brilliant five-set match, which Church won.
Church scored in the doubles also. Paired with Fred C. Inman. the combi-
nation proved a little too strong for Pell and Irving Wright, defeating them in
straight sets. The women's singles went to Mrs. Barger-Wallach. and she also
won the doubles, with Miss Mary Snyder as a partner. Mrs. Rawson Wood
and Church took the mixed doubles. The summaries :

Georgia State Championships
The eleventh Georgia State championships were held on the five clay courts of
the Piedmont Driving Club, Atlanta, beginning September 6. the tournament
having been changed from August 16, the committee thinking that perhaps
more out-of-town entries might be secured on the latter date. The singles had
thirty-two entries and the doubles fourteen teams, the women's singles having
seven entries, this event being substituted in place of the mixed doubles. There
were five first class out-of-town entries, the principal ones being Nat Thornton
from Murray Cross, Ala., and Ralph E. Racey of Palm Beach, Fla.
It was the most successful State championship ever held at the driving club.
there being from 200 to 300 spectators every afternoon, and a better class of
tennis being exhibited than during the two previous years that it has been held
at this club.
The singles championship was won by Carleton Y. Smith of Atlanta, after a.
stubbornly fought five-set contest with his fellow-townsman. Nat Thornton.
The day was one of the warmest of the whole summer, the humidity being very
high. The first set went to Thornton in easy style. 6/2. and the second one at
6/4, after Smith had a lead of 3/1. The next three sets and match, however,
went to Smith.
By his victory Smith obtained permanent possession of the State champion-
ship cup in singles, which has been in play for thirteen years, with the excep-
tion of two years, when the tournament was not held. The cup has inscribed
upon it the names of Dr. Carl Little of Cincinnati. Ohio ; Reuben Hunt of
Pasadena. Cal. ; Clarence V. Angler, Jr.. of Atlanta. Ga. ; Eden Taylor of
Macon, Ga., in which city the tournament was originally held : Nat Thornton,
C. Y. Smith, and E. V. Carter, Jr., of Atlanta. Smith won the cup in 1913,
1914 and 1915.
Grant and Thornton won the doubles championship from Orr and Carter,
after each team had won two sets and after two postponements. In the
women's singles, Miss Katherine Crandall defeated Miss May O'Brien in a well
played three-set match. The summaries :

Indiana State Championships
By Thomas A. Hendricks.
The appearance of a large number of promising youngsters was the one
encouraging feature to relieve the general aspect of mediocre tennis at the
Indiana State tournament, held at Indianapolis the week of July 11. The
local veterans showed no improvement in their form over that of previous
years, Will Fleet of Culver being the only Hoosier to reach the semi-finals. In
the final round Charles Garland, the sixteen-year-old Pittsburgh star, had
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 139
little trouble in disposing of N. W. Swayne of Philadelphia, who up to this
point had proved invincible.
Thirteen new comers in tennis circles raised hopes that Indiana may at
some time have a player of national reputation. All thirteen are boys rang-
ing from seventeen years down to Rice and Cox, the twelve-year-old team.
These lads are avoiding the old Indiana failing of sticking to the backline,
and are perfectlv willing to fight it out at the net, win or lose. The next
few years should bring several of the following to a point where they can
hope to successfully cope with real stars. These boys are Billy Ervin, Cotton,
Koehler, Porter Seidensticker, the Bastian and Cox brothers, Freddy Gignil-
liat, Johnny Henessey, Tweed Bornstein, Meyer, Kahn, Gordon Rice, and Cox.
There were no startling changes in the women's tournament. Mrs. I. Watt
Pugh defended her title successfully. The summaries :

140 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
Wisconsin State Championships
By Dr. N. A. Goddard.
Heath T. Byford of Chicago won the singles with-
out much difficulty and, paired with R. N. Hamilton
Of Milwaukee, romped away with the doubles, not
losing a set, in the twenty-eighth annual tennis
tournament held at the Town Club, Milwaukee. Miss
Neely, Western champion, took the women's singles
and, with her partner. Miss Steever, won the doubles.
Miss Waldo and G. Maxon, Jr., won the mixed
doubles.
The tournament was held during the week of
August 16, the women's and mixed doubles finals
running over until Tuesday, the 24th. while the
men's finals were played on the 21st. The weather
was ideal until the 24th, when a cold snap set in
and the wind blew across the courts-, causing much
inaccuracy.
In the men's singles Byford came through to the
final, losing only one set to Maxon in the semi-finals.
Dr. N. a. Goddard. Hamilton came through the lower half, meeting
Douglas Weller in the semi-finals and downing him
in three straight sets, all of which were close. This was one of the feature
matches of the tournament, and Hamilton was compelled to extend himself
to win.
The first two sets of the final were Byford's without much difficulty. In the
third, after having the match apparently in his grasp at 5/1, Byford took a
sudden slump and Hamilton, driving deadly and taking everything over head
for a "kill" ran the set out at 8/6. The fourth set bid fair to be a repetition of
the third, Byford holding Hamilton at 5/2, when the latter took a brace, boost-
ing the score to 5-all, at which point Byford broke through and scored the
match on his own service.
The doubles proved less interesting, Alfred Weller and G. Maxon, Jr., com-
ing through their half, met Hamilton and Byford in the final. The first two
sets were all Byford and Hamilton, but the third showed Weller and Maxon
at their best. The latter, however, after having the set at 5/1 hy out-volley-
ing their opponents, lost their stride and threw the set at 7/5.
Miss Carrie B. Neely met a difficult proposition in Miss Martha Charles in
the early rounds of the women's singles. Hard cross-court drives, taken from
the high bounding returns of Miss Neely, almost proved the la^"ter's undoing.
However, Miss Neely's steadiness won her the match at 4/6, 6/4, 7/5. Miss
Neely met Mrs. Miller of Chicago in the final. The court was damp and the
air cold and windy. The match was Miss Neely's all the way through and
she won at 6/3, 6/2.
Miss Neely and Miss Steever in the doubles had difficulty only in the final,
where they met Miss Charles and Miss Miller. The match brought out some
unusually clever close net work and lobbing, but after the first set the match
was easily taken by Miss Neely and Miss Steever, 4/6, 6/1, 6/2.
The final of the mixed doubles brought Miss Charles and R. N. Hamilton
and Miss Waldo and G. Maxon, Jr., together. Both teams had an easy way
to the decisive match. The women proved quite efficient in handling drives,
but seemed unable to cope with the men's "twist" service. The match was close
all the way through. Miss Waldo and Maxon finally winning at 7/5, 4/6, 6/4.
Spencer had difficulty in getting started against Gibbs in the men's consola-
tion singles. The former won, however, at 5/7. 10/12, 6/4. 7/5, 6/2. Sloss
and Neilson took the consolation doubles, and Miss Amanda Falker, former
State champion, won the women's consolation singles.
This is the first time in the history of the State competition that the
women's tournament has been held in conjunction with the men's. The addi-
tion of mixed doubles was also made. From the standpoint of all contestants
the tournament was a complete success. The foot-fault rule was held to iQ
the best possible spirit. Summaries :

Illinois State Championships
By a. H. Lawson.
Heath Byford won the singles title and Byford and Alex. Squalr the doubles
honors in the tournament for the Illinois State championships held on the turf
courts of the Wanderers Tennis Club of Chicago, beginning July 17. The
largest entry in the history of the event was received, and it proved to be one
of the most interesting tournaments ever held under the auspices of the Wan-
derers Club. The courts were in fine condition in spite of the somewhat unsat-
isfactory tennis weather during the season. Upsets and reversals were
frequent.
Probably the biggest surprise was the defeat of Walter Hayes, in the fourth
round, by A. J. Lindauer. former University of Chicago interscholastic cham-
pion. Hayes had been playing excellent tennis up to this time, but the low
bounds on the turf courts and the strong wind seemed to bother him. Lin-

dauer played with confidence, and while Hayes won the first, a deuce set,
L/indauer took the upper hand in the second and, by clever playing, won the
second and third sets by low scores.
The following day Byford defeated Lindauer. 6/1. 6/1. and Alex. Squalr
showed some of his last year's form by defeating Jerry Weber, 6/1, 6/3 ; Bur-
dick defeated Gifford. 8/6. 6/0. and C. G. Hill, former Yale player, caused
another sensation by defeating Al Green, Michigan State champion, in straight
Bets.
The closest contest of the tournament occurred In the semi-finals, when
Byford and Squair met in a long five-set match. Squair started off with a
dash, taking the first two sets, but Byford played a steady, consistent game
throughout, and by clever volleying, deep lobbing and drives close to the side
lines, overcame Sq'uair's lead and won the match.
The singles final round was decided before a good-sized gallery. Playing
a consistent game, with a reliance on lobs, Byford got off to a fine start. He
won the first two sets. 6/1, 6/1. Burdick. on the other hand, seemed nervous
and over-anxious, and not until the third set did he show any of the good
tennis he is capable of playing. However, this spurt came too late, and Byford
won the last and deciding set, 9/7.
The doubles matches turned out as fans, who had been watching previous
tournaments, expected they would. The fourth round brought out such well-
known teams as Hayes and Burdick. James and James, Carver and Evans,
Byford and Squair. and Jerry Weber and Al Green. Jr. Probably the most
exciting contest of the round was when Gifford and Ketchum. after a hard
struggle, defeated Weber and Green in a closely fought four-set match. 9/7,
10/8, 2/6. 6/3. In the semi-final round Hayes and Burdick defeated James
and James, the Northwestern University stars. 6/3. 6/2. 6/3. Byford and
Squair. who were showing much better form than In previous tournaments,
trimmed Gifford and Ketchum, 7/9, 6/3, 6/3, 7/5. In the final round Byford
and Squair met their old rivals. Hayes and Burdick. The latter team had
defeated Byford and Squair twice before during the season in tournaments
held on clay courts. On the grass courts, however, Byford and Squair seemed
to play better tennis, and won in a five-set match.
The women's singles was won by Miss C. B. Neely. who. In order to do so,
^as forced to defeat Miss Voorhees. Central West women's champion ; Mrs.
Edward H. Brewer, and Mrs. McNeil, city champion.
Miss Lee and Miss Voohees won the doubles championship by defeating Miss
I^eely and Mrs. Cudahy. The summaries :

Colorado State Championships
Colorado's 1915 tennis tournament, held on the courts of the Denver Coun-
try Club during the week of August 30, saw the passing of the famous WalsU
trophy cup. the goal of singles players in the State for the past eight years.
T. Brook Townsend, Jr., took the championship for the third successive time,
and is now owner of the cup. which has been held since 1908 by six different
players, namely, Charles Graham. Don Harker, Clarence P. Dodge, Walter S.
Andrews, John W. Morey and T. B. Townsend, Jr.
Townsend accomplished the remarkable feat of winning the three champion-
Bhips with the loss of only two sets, one in 1914 and one in 1915.
In the final round of the 1915 tournament the champion defeated the veteran
Don Harker, also twice holder of the cup. Townsend held a safe lead all the
way and, though losing the third set, was in little danger of dropping the
match. He took the first two sets with the loss of only three games. Then
Harker braced and ran out. 6/1. Townsend came back stronger than ever and
captured the final set at love.
The two semi-final matches were played on Labor Day. before a large and
enthusiastic gallery. Townsend won handily in his bracket, defeating Richard
Scott, city champion, in straight sets. Harker won only after a hard battle
With A. B. Bowen. another of the veteran players of the State.
The early rounds were marked by many close matches, among them the
defeat of Harry Koch, Nebraska champion, by Scott, and Barker's victory over
Scribner, Koch's teammate.
Townsend, paired with Morrison Shafroth, added to his glory by winning the
doubles title. A consistent smashing game carried the pair to victory by a
safe margin. In the final round they won easily from Berrien Hughes and
Kennedy, a mixed team representing Denver and Omaha.
The real battle in the doubles came in the semi-final round when the cham-
pions defeated Harker and Bob Wellington in four close sets.
Good weather, except for two days of rain, marked the progress of the tour-
nament, and the committee in charge, headed by Tyson Dines, Jr., made all
arrangements so eflSciently that the event was a splendid success in every way.

Idaho State Championships
The seventh annual Idaho State tennis tournament was held on the grounds
of the Lewiston Country Club, at Lewiston. beginning June 23 and ending
June 26. While enthusiasm over the tournament seemed to be at a higher
pitch than ever before, the entry list was the smallest in the last five years.

after four keenly contested sets. In the challenge round, however, he was
defeated by Joseph C. Tyler of Spokane in straight sets. In the doubles,

Washington State Championships
By H. C. Force, Seattle.
After the notices for the twenty-fifth annual tournament for the champion
ships of the State of Washington had been sent out, the Seattle Tennis Club
was notified that two of the courts would be taken away for building purposes.
In this emergency the Seattle Athletic Club generously offered the use of its
courts at Blakistone Field, on the shore of Lake Washington, and the change
In location added to the pleasure of the spectators at the tournament.
The entry list, though not quite so large as that in 1914, was higher in
•quality, as with the exception of the British Columbia contingent, the decrease
was almost entirely from the ranks of the poorer players. Tacoma and Port-
land were, as usual, well represented, and California had H. V. D. Johns, the
1914 champion. Joseph Tyler, who started his tennis career in Seattle, but
years ago moved to Spokane, came over and helped make the tournament a
success.
In the upper half of the men's singles, Johns came through to the semi-finala
without much trouble, winning all his matches in straight sets. Hugh Kel-
leher, his opponent in the semi-finals, also came through without much trouble.
In the lower half the players were more evenly matched. The match between
Russell and Miura, the best of the Japanese entries, was more interesting than
the score, 6/0, 6/2, would Indicate.
In the semi-finals, Tyler and Russell, who have been rivals since their youth-
ful days, met again, and Tyler, who had defeated Russell in the final in Tacoma
the previous week, won, 6/4, 6/4, 6/4. In the semi-finals, Johns and Kelleher
had a long and hard fought match, but the Californian was too much for the
Harvard player, and won, 6/3, 6/3, 4/6, 7/5. In the final, Johns started out
strongly and took the first set, 7/5. but after that Tyler got into his stride and
won the next three sets, 6/4, 7/5, 6/0.
In the men's doubles the two real teams, that Is, men who had played
together before and were not merely paired for the tournament, worked out to
the final without much trouble. In this round Kelleher and Tyler were too
much for Fulton and Russell, winning, 6/2, 7/5, 6/4.
In the women's singles. Miss MacDonald of the University of Washington,
who had won the Inland Empire championship earlier in the summer, worked
up to the final, but here she succumbed to Miss Livingstone, who had defeated
her in the challenge round in Portland two weeks before.
In the women's do^ibles. Mrs. Bragdon and Miss Livingstone walked right
through, winning every match in straight sets, losing only eight games in the
ten sets. In the mixed doubles. Miss Livingstone and J'ohns won without much
trouble. The summaries :

California State Championships
By Carl R. Gardner.
The California State championship.s brought out new champions in all events
in 1915, John Strachan and Mrs. D. P. Wood being replaced in the singles
by Willis Davis and Miss Helen Baker, while Strachan and William Johnston
were succeeded by Roland Roberts and Morgan Fottrell in the doubles. None
of the 1914 titleholders competed in their respective events, however, so the
new champions did not have the honor of dethroning them.
Davis' victory in the singles, considering that Lindley Murray, No. 4 rank-
ing man, competed, came as a surprise to the followers of the records, but
there were many prophecies vindicated, even so, for the lanky University of
California boy had been going great guns for several weeks previous. In
turn, he defeated Carl Gardner. Roland Roberts and Murray, the first named
in a close three-set match wherein he lost the second : Roberts in three
straight sets, and Murray in a sensational five-set affair in the final round.
Murray, working like a steam thrasher, pulled up from a lead of two sets
to one against him to two sets-all and 3/1 in his favor. But Davis steadied
his terrific service and heavy drives, going straight through to a win of
the set and match. 6/.3. It was a contest of serves, chiefly, and there was
just about the difference the score indicates in Davis' favor. McLoughlin
said of Davis' delivery, after he played him in the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition championship in July, that it was the most diflJcult to
handle he had ever run up against.
Both Murray and Davis fought for the net, the former getting in oftener
and volleying accurately, but with too little ginger, giving his opponent
many openings for his swooping drives. Davis was less secure than Murray,
but his percentage of aces ran much higher.
Strachan and Murray, the logical team to win the doubles, were forced to
default in the third set of their match with Roberts and Fottrell on account
of a mishap to Strachan^ When side-stepping, so as to bring his forehand
drive into play in returning one of Roberts' breaking services, he tripped
and fell heavily to the asphalt, breaking a bone in his right ankle.
Roberts and Fottrell surprised everyone with the excellence of theii?
doubles, taking the measure of C. D. Bates and Henry Breck in a rip-snorter
of a five-set match, and fairly waltzing away with Davis and Charles Foley
in the final round, in straight sets.
Bates distinguished himself by winning the first veterans' championship
of the State (for men of forty or over), without the loss of a set. He was,
in fact, hardly pressed during the event, taking the measure of W. G. Knowl-
ton in the final with bewildering ease, his sliding chops apparently breaking
up KnoWlton's cannon ball drive.

was the most brilliant and spectacular player, although Throckmorton's play
was of the same style, and often approached Church's work. At other times
he was extremely erratic and made lots of errors. Inman played very hard,
and was fine the last three sets. Shafer was noticeably the steadiest of the
tour. He made few errors and a numher of good gets and good placements.

Pacific Northwest Championships
A big entry list, ideal weather conditions, and large and enthusiastic gal-
leries marked the twenty-fifth annual Pacific Northwest championship tourna-
ment, held on the courts of the Tacoma" (Wash.) Lawn Tennis Club, August
2 to 7.
The final award of the Panama-American Union Cup made the tournament
especially interesting. This trophy was given by John Barrett to be awarded,
during the year of the Panama-Pacific Exposition, to the player winning the
most points during the years of 1912-13-14-15. The points were awarded as
follows : 10 to th^ winner, 5 to the runner-up, and 1 each to the semi-finalists.
The cup was won in 1912 by Melville H. Long, who defeated William M.
Johnston, both of San Francisco, Cal. ; in 1913 Elia F. Fottrell of San Fran-
cisco defeated Joseph C. Tyier of Spokane, Wash., and in 1914 H. Van Dyke
Johns of San Francisco defeated Henry Breck of Oakland, Cal. Interest In
the 1915 tournament lay between Tyler and Johns, who. of the previous con-
tenders, were the only entrants in the competition, but Johns was defeated in
the semi-finals by Samuel Russell of Seattle. Wash., who, in turn, was defeated
by Tyler in the final round, thus giving permanent possession of the cup to
Tyler.
Tyler's victory also carried with it the Chester Thome Cup, representing the
.championship of the Pacific Northwest. It was presented twenty-five years
.ago, and is still without a permanent winner.
There were forty-eight entries in the men's singles and twenty-one teams in
the doubles. The latter event was won by Johns and William Marcus, who
defeated Kelleher of Seattle and Tyler in an exciting four-set match, 7/5, 2/6,
8/6, 10/8.
The women's singles had thirty-two entries and, as in 1914, the final round
brought together Miss Sara Livingstone of Seattle and Mrs. W. J. Northrup of
Portland, Ore., the former winning, 6/2, 6/1. Sixteen teams entered in the
doubles, and the struggle in the final round was between four Seattle players,
Miss McDonald and Mrs. Bragdon defeating Miss Livingstone and Miss Green,
•6/1, 6/1.
Seattle players also distinguished themselves in the mixed doubles. The
contest narrowed down to a final match between Miss Livingstone and Kel-
leher against Mrs. Stafford and Tyler of Spokane. The first named pair won,
.8/3, 6/2.

PAUL W. GIBBONS,
President Philadelphia and District Lawn Tennis Association,
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 169f'
Lawn Tennis in Philadelphia and District
By Paul W. Gibbons.
From a local standpoint, one of the bright spots in the past tennis year
was the formation of the Philadelphia and District Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion. The idea, which was conceived in February, was shaped into con-
crete form in April when a call was issued to every club in the Philadelphia
District to join hands to form a permanent association to better tennis condi-
tions in the district. The responses were instantaneous and exceeded even
the fondest hopes of its sponsors. The association petitioned the United
States National Lawn Tennis Association for a sectional doubles champion-
ship and asked for more consideration of Philadelphia when tennis fixtures
of national import were being awarded. Despite the fact that the petition
was ignored, the association is here to stay and undoubtedly will be an
adjunct for advancement in the national councils of the sport.
The association's first annual banquet was participated in by nearly two
hundred of the keenest tennis men in the Philadelphia district. The organiza-
tion comprises in its membership thirty separate tennis clubs, with a com-
bined equipment of 180 tennis courts, and upon which during the season
4,000 tennis players enjoy their favorite sport. We point to these figures,
therefore, as proof that the formation of the association marked an epoch
of advancement of Philadelphia tennis.
The only tennis clubs of importance not affiliated with the association are
the Merlon Cricket Glub, Philadelphia Cricket Club and Germantown Cricket
Club. If these clubs will join and help with the work, the association should,
by the end of 1916, have an organization of forty clubs, 300 courts and 7,500
players. If nothing else can be said for it, therefore, 1915 will always have
a halo for marking the birth of this association.
Not by any means the least important event of the 1915 season was the
inception of the junior clay court championship of Philadelphia and District,
held under the auspices of the Philadelphia and District Lawn Tennis Asso-
ciation, on the perfect courts of the Cynwyd Club. The age limit was pur-
posely kept down to fifteen years, so that the event might be given over to
mere tots of ten, eleven and twelve years, who might modestly refrain from
entering if boys of seventeen and eighteen were permitted to play.
There is quite a difference in ability and development between the boys of
fifteen and eighteen years, more perhaps than between any period of three
years in tennis activity. Many players of seventeen and eighteen reach
quite an advanced state of development. Young Charles Garland of Pitts-
burgh, Yale interscholastic, Indiana State champion and runner-up to Throck-
morton (himself a further example) in the interscholastic championship,
being a brilliant example.
The junior championship was an unqualified success. Thirty-two boys,
varying in age from ten to fifteen years, competed for the title, which was
won by Thomas Brown of New York. Many youngsters received a lasting
Incentive to improve their game as a result of the tournament, and its good
effects are sure to be most marked in the near future.
Searing and Vaux Wilson of the Cynwyd Club deserve all the praise for
the success of the affair. They raised the necessary finances, secured the
entries, and managed the affair in a manner that might well be emulated by
some tennis committees of infinitely greater experience.
The competitive play during 1915 was better, keener and numbered more
participants by quite a margin than any of its predecessors. The Inter
Cricket Club League competition for first and second teams, which took place
in the spring, was participated in by five clubs and 75 players. It was won
by Merlon in both first and second divisions.
The tournament of the Tri-State League, six clubs, was participated in by
sixty players, and was won by the Belfield Country Club. P. S. Osborne,
Belfield, won the individual singles championship, and Howard Blddle and
Robert McCann, Overbrook Golf Club, the doubles championship.
The tournament of the Suburban League, eight clubs, was participated In
by ninety-five players, and was won by the Greenpoint Club. T. C. Leonardei
won the singles, and, with Dr. E. E. Eliason, the doubles championship.

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL, 171
The tournament of the Inter-F.orough League of Delaware County, six
clubs, was participated in by fifty players, and was won by the Rutledge Club.
The tournament of the Inter-Township League, six clubs, was participated
in by sixty players, and was won by the Beechwood Club.
The tournament of the We,st Jersey League of Field Clubs had nearly 100
players in the senior and .iunior events. The senior championship was won
by "the Moorestown Field Club by a very close margin from the Collingswood
Field Club, which was runner-up.
Of the sanctioned tournaments held in the Philadelphia District during
1915, the following were the winners :
Pennsylvania State — Held at the Merion Cricket Club: Singles — Joseph J. Arm-
strong. " Doubles — Wallace F. Johnson and A. O. Thayer.

Of the women's tennis events in the Philadelphia District, chief Interest,
of course, centered in the national championship played on the courts of the
Philadelphia Cricket Club at St. Martins. It was the most successful and
best managed event since the inception of the women's championship. This
was due principally to the splendid management of Chairman Joseph N.
Jennings. In singles Miss Molla Bjurstedt was proclaimed the winner, while
the doubles went to Mrs. Wightman and Miss Eleanora Sears. Mrs. Wight-
man and Harry Johnson of Boston captured the mixed doubles.
The Pennsylvania State championship, held at the Merion Cricket Club,
drew a classy field. Miss B.1urstedt was on hand, but because of a bad ankle
was unable to play in the singles. She, however, played in the doubles and
mixed doubles. The singles title was won by Mrs. Marshall McLean, and
Philadelphians were particularly gratified that Mrs. C. N. Beard of Cynwyd
was the runner-up. Mrs. McLean and Miss Bjurstedt won the doubles, and
Wallace F. Johnson and Miss Clare Cassel the mixed doubles.
The Delaware State championship was held for the first time in 1915. It
was decided on the courts of the Wilmington Country Club and its success
was thereupon assured. The best players in the Philadelphia District com- ♦
peted. and Wilmington was justly proud of the fact that the title in singles
was won by Mrs. J. Saunders Taylor of the home club and the doubles by
Mrs. Taylor and Miss Marion Cresswell, the latter a former Philadelphia
champion. Mrs. Gilbert A. Harvey of Philadelphia was Mrs. Taylor's oppo-
nent in the final round.
The Women's Philadelphia and District championship for the first time in
years attracted an out-of-town entry of class, Miss Agnes Cunningham com-
ing down from Boston to strive for the title. Her efforts were crowned with
success in both singles and doubles.
As to the women's interclub competitions in 1915, Philadelphia won the
first division title, while the Belfield Country Club team featured its maiden
entrance into the competition by winning the championship of the second
division.
The death toll upon the sport will ever furnish the regretful side of our
memories of 1915. From Philadelphia the Grim Reaper took Herbert M.
Tilden, one of the best and most popular players who ever graced the court
hereabouts ; Milton C. Stein, chairman of the tennis committee of the Phil-
172 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
mont Country Club ; Henry B. Ward, ex-captain of the University Courts
team : John Torpev, a former champion of the Stenton Athletic Club ; and Will-
iam T. Tilden, whose great love and admiration for the sport was responsible
for his directing the steps of his sons, Herbert M. and William T., 2nd, into
the game. No important tournament in the Pl^iladelphia district was com-
plete without Mr. Tilden in the gallery, and no more appreciative admirer
of a tennis match ever lived.

President Chicago Associated Tennis Clubs.
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 177
Lawn Tennis in Chicago
Chicago Associated' Lawn Tennis Clubs
The Chicago Associated Tennis Clubs was organized in the summer of 1914,
being the outgrowth of the efforts of several of the tennis clubs in the city of
Chicago to arrange interclub matches. The value of these matches was recog-
nized by all who participated, and in the spring of 1915 a working organiza-
tion was effected for the association in order to place such contests upon a
permanent basis. During the season three tournaments were successfully han-
dled. The first was an interclub affair between the teams representing the
different clubs, each match consisting of six events in singles and three events
in doubles, and each event scoring one point. The second was a singles tourna-
ment and the third a doubles tournament, in which players from each club
contested.
The purpose for which the association was organized is to foster and pro-
mote the game of tennis. With this in view the association plans to unite the
various tennis units throughout the city so they may act together with the
common object of promoting the general interest in tennis, increasing the
opportunities for tennis play, and providing a special incentive to the develop-
ment of players who will be capable of taking part creditably in the larger
tournaments.
The association was originally composed of eight clubs, but this number was
Increased to twelve shortly after the beginning of the 1915 season, and the
association now represents a total membership of 721 players. The clubs In
the association are as follows :
Sherwood, Unatre, Irving Park, Wheaton, "Wilson Avenue Y.M.C.A., Rogers
Park, Hamilton Park, West Maywood, Lawchester, Palmer Square, Park Ridge
and South Park.
Applications have been received from a number of other clubs, and it is prob-
able that most of the tennis organizations in Chicago will become members of
the association in time for the 1916 schedule. All clubs that provide adequate
facilities for tennis play, including at least two courts, proper fencing and
backstops, a dressing room and shower baths, are eligible to membership, and
tournaments will be arranged each season, which will give each club an oppor-
tunity to be represented by its players in competition play. The singles and
doubles tournaments will be general in character, each club being entitled to a
specified number of entries. For the interclub tournament the clubs will be
arranged in divisions of about eight clubs to each. The divisions will be made
up according to the number of courts the club possesses and also their geo-
graphical position in the city. The winners of the different divisions will then
compete for the championship of the association.
In 1915 the Unatre Tennis Club won the championship and was awarded the
pennant. In the singles, Harold C. Yeager of West Maywood was the winner,
and W. E. Paine, Jr., of Wilson Avenue was the runner-up. In the doubles, W.
jE. Paine, Jr., and H. E. Howard of Wilson Avenue won, by defeating Forester
land Steelhammer of Unatre.
The prizes were awarded at a banquet held October 23 at the Hotel Sherman,
which goes on record as being the largest gathering of its kind ever held in
the West. At this banquet the following officers were elected :
President — J. C. Stewart, Sherwood, 150 East Superior Street, re-elected.
Vice-president — C. R. Pierce, Wilson Avenue Y.M.C.A., 4423 North Hermitage
Avenue, re-elected. Secretary and Treasurer — R. G. Crandall, Rogers Park,
6832 North Ashland Boulevard, Corresponding Secretary — A. B. Hatch, Whea-
ton, 232 East Ohio Street.
As a fitting climax to a successful year, the Lawchester Tennis Club closed
its season of 1915 with an open tournament, which began October 2. with an
entry of thirty-seven in singles and sixteen doubles teams. Harold C. Yeager
won the final in singles by defeating W. F. Berns, 7/5, 6/4, 1/6, 6/2, while in
the doubles, W. F. Berns and R. R. Candor won a spectacular match from E. J.
and S. M. Blakeslee, 3/6, 6/4, 6/3, 3/6, 6/2.
178 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. '
Chicago City Championships
By a, H. Lawson.
Walter T. Hayes easily won the Chicago city championship at the annual
tournament held at the Wanderers Club. Hayes was invincible from the start

his doubles partner, Ralph Burdick, in the finals in straight sets, 6/2, 6/1, 6/1.
Hayes and Ralph Burdick won the doubles championship by defeating Ket-
chum and Gifford, 6/3. 6/4. 2/6, 6/4.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of the tourney was the ease with which Harold
Gifford defeated Alex. Squair, Western champion, in the fifth round, in
straight sets. 6/4. 6/3.
Mrs. Malcolm McNeil also sprung a surprise when she defeated Miss Carrie
Neely in the semi-finals of the women's singles, 6/4, 6/4. Mrs. McNeil won the

180 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
Lawn Tennis in Washington, D. C.
By Louis I. Doyle.
It is doubtful if tennis improved by more rapid strides in any place in the
United States than in Washington in 1915. More players — men, women and
children — participated in tournaments, more adopted the game for regular
'exercise, and more saw the tournament matches than ever before.
Among the notables, Touchard, Bull and Pell did not appear at Chevy Chase
in the singles, but I. C. Wright and Wallace F. Johnson took part in that event,
and Wright, Bull and Pell in the doubles. Probably the closest match, and the
best exhibition of the year, was that between Pell and Bull and C. B. and
H. B. Doyle in the challenge round of the doubles. It took five sets for the
New York pair to prove the right to retain the championship, by defeating H.
E. Doyle and W. Hy. Hackett, the latter from New York. Wright came very
near eliminating C. B. Doyle in one of the early rounds in singles, and in
doubles, paired with H. H. Bundy, a new Washingtonian, reached the finals.
C. B. Doyle, the younger of the brothers, won from H. E. Doyle in the final
round of singles and then took the measure of Wallace F. Johnson, thus
repeating his successes of previoi^s matches when this pair met.
Harvard University included Washington in its itinerary. Its team, includ-
ing R. N. Williams, 2nd, and Caner, won from the latter, represented by
C. B. and H. E. Doyle, Spencer Gordon, J. B. Moore and H. H. Bundy. The
singles match between Williams and C. B. Doyle, and the doubles between
Williams and Caner and the Doyles furnished a great treat for the local fans.
The Middle Atlantic tournament brought out the biggest entry list in its
history, sixty-four players participating, though only two of the out-of-town
entrants competed. When, as is hoped, this event is included among those
whose winners compete in the national doubles, many prominent players from
surrounding cities will undoubtedly take part, and the competition will rank
with the leading sectional tournaments in the country.
In the Columbia Country Club invitation tournament in the fall, there was
a particularly large entry list, the incentive being the new and handsome
trophy presented by Charles P. King, president of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and Potomac Electric Power Company. Mr. King was
also responsible for two local tournaments, a handicap and scratch event, for
his employees. He participated in both, winning the doubles of the scratch
event, paired with Dr. L. W. Glazebrook.
The District of Columbia championship tournament was held on the Dum-
barton courts for the first time, and drew a record-breaking entry of seventy
men and twenty-five women. It brought together players who had never
before participated in Washington tournaments, and was an unqualified suc-
cess from every viewpoint.
Some of the enthusiasm which increased the entries to tournaments was
caused by two new and growing organizations, the Departmental Tennis
League and the Women's Tennis League, formed in 1915. The object of the
former is to encourage players in government employ to take part in matches
under tournament conditions. Courts kept at government expense were used,
and the best talent in the city, besides men who otherwise would have taken
no regular exercise, participating. The organization has fifteen hundred mem-
bers, men and women, making possibly the largest tennis club in the world.
Thirteen departments and commissions, represented by twelve teams of ten
men each, played out a schedule of 330 matches, with only twelve defaults.
Many officials are included among the members, and the organization is a
permanent one.
The superintendent of public grounds, a great enthusiast in all lines of
sport, under the authority of Congress, placed twenty-five courts at the
disposal of the Washington public, on which many thousands of men, women
and children played. Under the plans for 1916 probably fifty courts will be
available.
The women, previously unorganized, formed the Women's Tennis League
with 125 members. Different clubs and sections of the city, as divided, com-
peted in a regular schedule, bringing out many new players.
There were also other leagues. The Home Club League, under the eye of
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 181
the popular Secretary of the Interior ; the Suburban League, and the league
of established clubs, Chevy Chase, Columbia and Dumbarton, which played
Interclub matches. Columbia held regular Saturday afternoon tournaments,
and Washington Country Club, Chevy Chase and Dumbarton held closed handi-
cap tournaments.
The high schools began giving letters for tennis, and the new Central High
will have several courts in 1916, on the site of the school building.
Improvements have been made at Columbia, where a practice wall and an
asphalt court have been constructed. Chevy Chase has two concrete courts
and a practice wall, and has flooded its dirt courts for ice skating.
Dumbarton has improved its club house, and will build a practice wall
and increase the number of its courts from seven to ten, including one of
asphalt. The winners in the various tournaments for 1915 follow :

The Doyle brothers, C. B, and H. E., were the finalists in singles In the
annual invitation tournament of the Chevy Chase Club, on the club's courts
at Chevy Chase, Md., beginning May 14. After a hurricane three-set match,
C. B. Doyle won, 7/5, 8/6, 6/1.
The challenge round brought together Wallace Johnson of Philadelphia,
holder, and C. B. Doyle, challenger. The latter won a clean-cut and decisive
victory, 6/3, 9/7, 6/3. This gave the winner permanent possession of the
coveted Army Cup.
The men's doubles brought together C. B. and H. E. Doyle against H. H.
Bundy and Irving C. Wright. The Doyles won, as expected, but only after
the hardest kind of a four-set match, 6/4, 4/6, 10/8, 6/1. Following this
came the match between the challengers, C. B. and H. E. Doyle, and the
defenders, T. R. Pell and C. M. Bull. It developed the best tennis ever seen
In Washington, in the opinion of close followers of the game. Pell had his
wonderful backhand stroke right where he wanted it. After capturing the
first two sets at 7/5, 6/4, the visitors were outplayed in the next two by 10/8,
6/4. The fifth set was hard-fought, but the local stars were outplayed by the
visitors, who took the set and match by 7/5, 6/4, 8/10, 4/6, 6/3.
Miss Eva Baker defeated Miss A. Morrison in the final round of the women's
isingles. The match was a good one, Miss Baker's experience and accurate
work winning for her by the score of 6/4, 6/1.
In the women's doubles. Miss Eva Baker and Miss Elizabeth Bryan won
from Miss A. M. Doyle and Miss Arline Dufour in a sharp three-set match,

mont Inn Challenge Cup, having won it three times.
Edgemere (L. I.) Tennis Club Tournament.— W. Merrill Hall won a hollow victory in
the singles of the Edgemere Tennis Club's invitation tournament during the week of
July 29, owing to the default of Hugh Tallant in the final round. The latter had a
long and close three-set match with Vanderbilt Ward in the morning, and was required
to take on Hall shortly afterward. This Tallant refused to do. In the semi-final
round of the doubles, R. L. Baggs and A. J. Ostendorf defeated W. M. Hall and A.
S. Cragin in straight sets, and A. H. Man, Jr., and Cedric Major won from Arthur

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 183
Lawn Tennis in Cincinnati and Vicinity
Hamilton County Tournament
By Gordon E. Small.
The third annual tournament for the championship of Hamilton County,
Ohio, was held on the courts of the Norwood Tennis Club, August 28 to Sep-
tember 6. The opening day was featured by an exhibition match between
Elia Fottrell of San Francisco and R. A. Holden, Jr., of Cincinnati, Holden
winning two out of three sets. The tournament brought out larger attend-
ances and more entries in all events than ever before and seems to have
become a fixture in Cincinnati tenuis. There were eighty entries in the men's
singles and twenty-two in the women's.
The Westwood Club carried off all the honors of the tournament, Charles
Wente winning the men's singles. Miss Ruth Sanders the women's singles,
Wente and Dr. Karl Little the men's doubles, and Miss Sanders, paired with
Mrs. C. E. Gregg of the Norwood Club the women's doubles.
The best match of the men's singles was that in the semi-final round
between Wente and Zimmerman of the Norwood Club, Wente winning in five
sets. The final round brought Wente against Dr. Little, one of Cincinnati's
veteran players, who was attempting a "comeback" after an absence from
the game of five years or more. Against any player but Wente, Dr. Little
probably would have won, but the former, being thoroughly familiar with the
doctor's game, played his weak points and won the match by a good margin.
Wente is only a youngster, but is one of Cincinnati's most promising players.
Little and Wente won the men's doubles after a hard fight in the semi-
finals with McGowan and Kruse, and a well played match with Rogers and
Cordes in the final round.
Miss Ruth Sanders had things all her own way in the women's singles
and again demonstrated that she is Cincinnati's premier racket wielder among
the fair sex. She lost only eight games in four matches, defeating her oppo-
nents in hollow style. Mrs. Norris and Miss Luers of the new Hyde Park
Club played well.
Miss Sanders and Mrs. Gregg won the women's doubles after nearly losing
to the Misses Levy and Emmich in the semi-finals. The summaries :

From Cincinnati Courts
One of the bright features of the season was the debut of the Hyde Park
Tennis Club in the local tennis field. This club was organized in May, and by
the first of July had a membership of one hundred, a club house, and six fine
courts. The club took an active interest in tennis affairs, and by means of
a series of tournaments kept the enthusiasm of the members at a high point
throughout the season. C. L. Cox won the club championship in singles, and
with Stowe LaHusen, the doubles. Miss Evelyn Luers won the women's
singles.
The TVestwood Club, for the second time, won the championship in the Ohio
Lawn Tennis Association Saturday Afternoon League. The Norwood, Clifton,
Hyde Park, Madisonville and Wyoming clubs finished in the order named.
One of the noticeable features of tennis in the city was the unusual number
of new players brought out by the courts built by the Park Board in the public
parks and playgrounds. The board has taken a very liberal attitude toward
tennis, and is building courts wherever a location can be secured and where
a demand exists. For the coming season public tennis leagues and tourna-
ments are being arranged, open only to the park players. A recent estimate
showed that at least a thousand new players have taken up the game through
the encouragement of and facilities offered by the Park Board.
Dayton Open Tournament
After coming through the third annual open tournament of the Dayton
Country Club, held September 20 to 25, Irving C. Wright was defeated in the
challenge round by Clarence J. Griffin, the 1914 winner, in straight sets, 6/2,
6/3, 6/4. In his play Griffin showed some of the most finished tennis ever seen
on the club courts.
Paired with Wright, Griffin also captured the doubles. They met a local
team, Allen Harris and George Blanchard. who had furnished the big upset
of the tournament by defeating C. P. Trask and Thomas Hendricks, the
Indiana entries. Great rivalry developed between the two teams, but Griffin
and Wright proved easy winners at 6/0, 6/4. 6/1.
^ Miss Molla B.iurstedt was the heroine in the women's events, as she won the
singles and, with Miss C. B. Neely as a partner, also took the doubles.
An exhibition match in men's doubles between Griffin and Wright against
Holden and Emerson of Cincinnati closed the tournament. The Ohio men took
the first set at 7/5, but after 12-all in the second set darkness put an end to
the contest. Other exhibition matches were played during the week by cham-
pion William M. Johnston and former champion Maurice E. McLoughlin in
singles, Johnston and Griffin against McLoughlin and Wright in doubles, and
Miss Bjurstedt against J. C. Neely. The summaries :

186 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
Lawn Tennis in Louisville
By Crit C. Young.
The tennis season of 1915 was the most successful that Louisville has
ever known. The summer witnessed the formation of the Kentucky Lawn
Tennis Association, which at once became a member of the U. S. N. L. T. A.,
and all of the tournaments were held -under its auspices. The Bi-State
tournament (Kentucky and Ohio) failed to draw outsiders to any extent, for
the first time in five years, but this was due to a conflict of dates. The
original time, July 5-10, was changed to September 4-9, but this proved
equally as bad. Neither J. J. Armstrong of Philadelphia, nor Miss Ruth
Sanders of Cincinnati appeared to defend their titles in the Bi-State, nor did
Lewis Hardy of Memphis defend his in the Falls Cities event. The latter part
of the season Covington Arterburn returned to the game, after two years
absence, and captured the Bi-State without being pushed. Harry Grinstead,
who for several years held three titles, only won one event, the Falls Cities
Championship (Kentucky and Indiana), in which he defeated Grinstead
Vaughan after a hard battle. The State tournament was won by George
Eager of Virginia, who, playing with Kenneth Bixby, was also successful in
the doubles. Victor Goddard, a newcomer in the tournament game, took the
Cherokee honors in rather hollow fashion, his work being of the highest order.
Louisville Tennis League
The Louisville Tennis League had its start in 1915. The object was to
develop new players and give the older ones an additional opportunity to
improve their game. It was composed of the Louisville Country Club, the
Audubon Country Club, the River Valley Country Club, the Standard Country
Club, the Anchorage Country Club, the Louisville Boat Club, and the Pastime
Boating and Athletic Club. Two series of interclub matches were played.
Each contest consisted of four matches, two singles and two doubles, so that
forty matches were scheduled for each member. The season opened June 5
and closed August 28. The Anchorage Country Club got away in the lead,
and was only displaced once, that being by the Louisville Boat Club, which
held it for only a short time, the Anchorage Club coming right back to the
top. The final standing of the clubs was as follows :
Clnb. Won. Lost. PC. Club. Won. Lost. PC.
Anchorage 25 9 .736 Louisville B. C 17 17 .500
PaBtlme 20 16 .556 Country Club 14 22 .389
River Valley 17 16 .516 Standard Club 11 23 .324

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 1S9
Lawn Tennis in St. Louis
By Robert Ross, Secretary St. Louis A, A. Association.
The season of 1915 will long be remembered by the players and admirers of
tennis as the big year, on account of the visit of the National champions to
the city in September, the quality of tennis displayed in the Central and city
championships, and the upsetting of the dope in the women's championship.
It is due to the untiring efforts of the St. Louis A. A. Association (Triple A)
that this game is so popular in the Mound City.
The Central championship of the United States was held under the associa-
tion's auspices on July 4. Sixty players, representing many States, partici-
pated in the singles, and twenty-eight pairs in the doubles. The quality of
tennis displayed was the best seen in St. Louis, and brought out a record gal-
lery every day. Eugene Monnett and Paul Darrough of the University of
Oklahoma won their way to the semi-finals, and there Monnett faced Roland
M. Hoerr and Darrough met C. Drummond Jones, both players of the Triple A
Club. Both matches were hotly contested, nearly every game going to deuce,
Hoerr eventually won over Monnett, 7/5, 4/6, 0/6, 6/3, 6/2, and Jones
defeated Darrough, 9/7. 0/6, 3/6, 6/2, 6/4.
In the final round Hoerr defeated Jones, 6/2, 6/1. 3/6, 6/1, thereby giving
Hoerr possession, for the second time, of the big Triple A Cup. to be held for
another year, and if he succeeds in getting his name on it again it will become
his personal property.
In the doubles, Monnett and Darrough encountered Jones and Hoerr in the
final round, which resulted in one of the hardest fought matches ever seen on
these courts. The score does not give any idea of the game as it was played,
nearly every game going to deuce, with the breaks in luck going against the
university players. Jones and Hoerr won, 11/13, 3/6, 6/3, 6/4, 6/2, thus
securing possession of the big trophy cups put up this year by the club. Hand-
some silver cups were presented the winners and runners-up in singles, doubles
and consolations, and the out-of-town players were the guests of the club for
the week.
Tennis players will overlook a good week of tennis in 1916 if they omit
placing the Central tennis championship on their tournament list.
Early in the season the directors of the Triple A decided to give their mem-
bers and the tennis enthusiasts of the city and surrounding towns an oppor-
tunity to see the champions in action. A committee, composed of their
president, R. M. Wilson ; treasurer, M. J. Halloran, and A. Von Reppert,
Grover C. Holthaus and Roland M. Hoerr was appointed, and it was success-
ful in securing Miss Molla Bjurstedt. M. E. McLoughlin. W. M. Johnston, C.
J. Griffin and C. L. Wright on September 22 and 23. Between six and seven
thousand people witnessed the games each day. Two matches were played,
Johnston and McLoughlin meeting in the first singles match, which was also
the first time they had opposed each other since the national championship.
McLoughlin won, 6/4. 6/4. In a doubles match between McLoughlin and C.
Drummond Jones of the Triple A, and Johnston, paired with Roland Hoerr,
also of the Triple A, five sets had to be played, and the tennis displayed was
a revelation to the spectators and thoroughly appreciated by them, as could be
judged from the applause that followed each sensational play. McLoughlin
and Jones eventually won.
Three matches were played the following afternoon. The first was between
Miss Bjurstedt and Miss Alice Prendergast, former holder of the city cham-
pionshi'p, who made a very good showing against the national champion. The
score was in favor of Miss Bjurstedt. many games going to deuce. The second
match was a mixed doubles between Miss Bjurstedt and Wright against Jones
and Hoerr. Only two sets were played. Jones and Hoerr won the first. 6/3,
and Miss Bjurstedt and Wright the second. 9/7. The third match was the big
one, a doubles between the champions, Johnston and Oriffin, and McLoughlin
and Wright. The first set went to McLoughlin and Wright, 6/4 : the second
set went to the champions, after some very sensational tennis, 7/5, and the
third set was also won by Johnston and Griffin.
In the city championships, held September 24. sixty-two players competed
in the singles and twenty-five teams in the doubles. Interest was aroused in

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 191
ithis tournament owing to the fact that Jones and Hoerr, who have been play-
ing partners in the doubles for years, separated, Jones taking for a partner
Gamble, one of the older and more seasoned players, while Hoerr paired with
Taylor Ward, one of the younger players. Both pairs won their way to the
jfinal round, which was witnessed by one of the largest galleries that ever
.attended a tennis game in the city, more than three thousand persons being on
hand wlien the game started. Jones and Gamble won the first two sets after
a hard light, many games going to deuce. The next two games went to Hoerr
^nd Ward rather easily, and the fifth was another hard fight, but tournament
experience won, Jones and Gamble being returned the winners, 6/3, 6/4. 1/6
1/6. 6/8.
Interest was sustained in the singles on account of Jones and Hoerr both
winning their way to the finals, and it was a question as to whether Jones
•could come back, seeing that Hoerr held two wins over him during the year,
namely, the Triple A Club championship and the Central championship, and
the large gallery on hand was pretty evenly divided as to its choice of winner.
It was a hard five-set match before the decision was rendered that Jones did
come back, the score being 4/6. 3/6. 6/0, 6/3. 6/2.
Southern Maine Championships.— The annual open tournament of the Squirrel Island
Athletic Association for the championship of southern Maine was held August 21 and

Nat. H. Bundy of Norfolk, Va., won the men's singles. He defeated the holder of the
•cup, E. Edwin Porter of Newton Center, Mass., in the third round. Bundy and
his partner, C. F. Mcintosh of Norfolk, won the doubles. Miss Maida Flanders of

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 193
Lawn Tennis in Milwaukee
By Dk. N. a. Goddard.
That the quality of tennis in Wisconsin improved a full one hundred per
cent in 1915 is no exaggeration. Particularly was this proven by the
-excellence of the play in Milwaukee during the intraclub matches of
the Milwaukee Tennis Association, and in the intercity matches in the
Wisconsin Tennis League of the nine cities of the Northern section, but more
particularly in the Milwaukee City tournament held at the Blue Mound Club.
Surprises and reversals were the prominent features in the Milwaukee City
tournament and the Milwaukee Tennis Association, following the precedent
set in the national tournament by the slump of Williams and McLoughlin
and the crowning of a new king in Johnston.
The Milwaukee City tournament far surpassed the State tournament, both
in enthusiasm and quality of play, and the defeating of Weller as well as
Maxon by Seefeld of the National Club was the great surprise of the compe-
tition, as he had never before been able to defeat them. In the finals,
Hamilton easily disposed of Seefeld, 6/3, 6/3, 6/0, and again won the city
championship, which he has held since 1913. In the doubles, Maxon and
Pearson defeated Hamilton and Birkhead, 6/3, 6/1, 6/3.
The race between the nine clubs of the Milwaukee Tennis Association was
extremely close. In the middle of the season, owing to the wealth of good
players who had joined the ranks of the East Side Club, it was generally
conceded that it would surely win not only the club championship, but
the singles championship cup, with good possibilities of the doubles cup ;
but with all the good players it was doomed to defeat and lost the play-oflF
of a tie with the Washington Park Club, which won the club championship.
In the finals for the singles championship of the association, Maxon. the
East Side Club player, on whom it had pinned its faith and hopes to be
returned winner, defaulted to Dr. Paul Goldstern of the West Side Club,
who defeated Oscar Puis of the National Club in the final round. As the
East Side Club had no entrants in the doubles matches, its hopes went
a-glimmering for a win of any of the trophies.
The club standing at the end of the season was as follows : Washington
Park, East Side, National, West Side, Cutler-Hammer, Allis Chalmers, Kil-
bourn. International Harvester, Bay View.
The individual standing of Milwaukee players, as placed by the tennis
writers of the city, was : 1, Hamilton, East Side ; 2, Maxon, East Side ; 3, A.
Weller, Town Cliib ; 4, Rechygle, Washington Park ; 5, Lipma'n, Washington
Park ; 6, Stuckert. Washington Park ; 7, Benson, West Side ; 8, Rounds, West
Side ; 9, Hill, East Side ; 10, Seefeld, West Side ; 11, D. Weller, Town Club ;
12. Graebner, National.
During the season, teams of six players of the Milwaukee Tennis Asso-
ciation made trips throughout the State to seek matches, not so much to win
as to talk over and to interest the various cities having tennis clubs in the
organization of a Wisconsin association. The resiilt was that in October
representatives were sent to Milwaukee, and the Wisconsin Tennis Associa-
tion was formed with a membership of twenty-two cities.
In 1916 the three sections into which the State has been divided will play
elimination matches, and the winners in singles and doubles in each section
will play the finals at some central point to determine the actual tennis
championship in singles and doubles of the State. This will be a closed State
tournament, and will in no way be connected or interfere with the annual
open State competition held in Milwaukee.
This idea of a strictly State tournament, open to only bona fide residents
of Wisconsin, is new. and its results will be watched with keen interest
by manv Eastern States.
The bshkosh Tennis Club won the trophy cup in the Wisconsin Tennis
League composed of nine clubs in Northern Wisconsin. This club spent
in the neighborhood of $4,000 last season in building four cement courts
and paying for its land. It is the intention to erect a club house in 1916.
Nearly every city and hamlet in Wisconsin boasts of from one to ten tennis
courts, many built" and maintained by the municipality.
194 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
Lawn Tennis in Kansas City
By C. H. Holcomb.
The year 1915 witnessed a remarkable growth in tennis in Kansas City.
This was demonstrated by the participation in the game of a greatly increased! .
number of players, the building of many new courts throughout the city, and
the greater interest and attendance at the different tournaments held during:
the year.
The real feature event of the season was the visit in late September of
the noted California trio, Johnston, McLoughlin and Griffin. This was the
first glimpse Kansas City has ever had at real top notch tennis, and although
the weather was the worst imaginable, being quite cold and damp, big crowds
welcomed the champions. The play was staged on the Kansas City Athletic
Club courts and consisted, of course, of exhibition matches only. C. J. Lock-
horn and Jack Cannon, the local stars, each had a go at the champions,
and their play showed exceptionally well_ in comparison. Cannon forcing:
Johnston to a deuce set in their exhibition. Another surprise was the matches
in doubles in which the national champions, Johnston and Griffin, were pitted
against McLoughlin and Lockhorn. To the surprise of nearly everyone the
latter team was victorious in a match that teemed with spectacular play,
defeating the champions two sets to one. In the second day's exhibition,,
however, the champions gained revenge, taking three out of four sets in
another thrilling encounter. There is no doubt the visit of these celebrated
players will do much toward improving the play of local racket wielders, a&
many new ideas were gathered that are sure to be followed out during 1916.
The year 1916 promises even more tennis than ever, due to the organiza-
tion of two new clubs, the Kansas City Field Club and the Rockhill Tennis
Club of Kansas City. The former is a big, new outdoor organization that
will have a dozen tennis courts, and will promote base ball, swimming and
other sports. Fay Moulton, the former Yale athlete and Olympic sprinter, is
president of the club, and Jack Cannon, vice-president. The Rockhill Club
will have tennis exclusively, and will build twenty-two tennis courts and two
squash courts. J. H. Felt, one of the most enthusiastic of tennis followers,
heads this club as president, while C. J. Lockhorn is a member of the board.
While the general standard of play in 1915 was probably higher than
heretofore, the improvement seemed to be shown by the younger rather than
the leading players : in fact, some of those ranked in 1914 were not able to
get into the upper ten upon their 1915 showing, and others have to be con-
tent with a place farther down the line than that previously accorded them.
Some of the youngsters coming up from the public courts are showing great
form and should be heard from next season.
Greater Kansas City Ranking, 1915
1— C. J. Lockhorn 4— C. H. Holcomb 7— W. N. Newell 9— Gordon Parker
2— J. S. Cannon 5— Dix Teachenor 8 — A. H. Seddou 10— James Elwell
3— R. A. Wester 6— Stephen Claflin
By his defeat of Cannon in the City, and Stellwagen in the Missouri Val-
ley tournament, Lockhorn established his right to the ranking of No. 1. There
is also no question as to the ranking of Cannon as No. 2, as Lockhorn was k
the only local player by whom he was defeated. For several years Cannon
has been handicapped by the fact that he had no local opponent of sufficient
ability to make him extend himself and do his best, and he was unable to
improve his play as he would have done with stronger competition ; after
losing to Lockhorn in the city tournament, he probably realized the weak
points in his game and set about to correct them with that determination
of which he is the fortunate possessor. Toward the end of the season he
was playing far better, and showed exceptional form in the exhibition set
which he played against Champion Johnston. He is a close student of the
game, and I predict that he will come back stronger than ever in 1916.
Teachenor, No. 2 in 1914, did not enjoy a very successful season, but
showed a flash of his old time form in the Missouri Valley tournament against
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 195
Lockhorn. During the season he lost to Holcomb, Wester, and Lockhorn.
Newell, Seddon, and Poteet, who had been ranked as 4, 5 and 6, respectively,
all played in and out tennis, with little if any improvement over their 1914
form. Seddon lost to Newell in -the Missouri Valley, in a match which was a
toss-up, and played fine tennis in the mixed doubles. Poteet's best form
was shown against Speice in the Missouri Valley.
Holcomb, placed at No. 7 in 1914, showed marked Improvement, one of
his principal assets being steadiness. During the season he defeated Seddon,
Poteet and Teachenor, all of whom had been ranked ahead of him the previ-
ous year, and lost to Lockhorn, Cannon and Wester. Masters played good
tennis at the beginning of the season, easily eliminating Claflin from the
city tournament, but failed to show much thereafter, probably due to the
fact that he did not play with any regularity. Moore, at times, played
unbeatable tennis, but usually in practice with nothing at stake. He does
not seem at his best in tournaments.
Claflin's play against Monett and Branson in the Missouri Valley entitles
him to consideration, although his showing against Lockhorn was not impres-
sive. Elwell played steady, consistent tennis, defeating Moore, the only rank-
ing player he met in a tournament. Gordon Parker and Uhls are the other
two players whose work would have to be considered by a ranking committee,
Parker losing to Cannon in the Missouri Valley and Uhls to Lockhorn in
the city, but Uhls' failure to compete in more than one tournament kept him
from occupying a place in the coveted ten.
Among the other players of ability, whose work should not be overlooked,
are Durall, Tyner, Lytle. Davis, Kavanaugh, Cloughly, Byerley, Bland, McCoy,
Wilder, Kyger, Krugh, Forrester, Dubach, Shelden. Donohue, Foules, Howard
and Brookfield, while among the classy younger players are Baucus, Morley,
Penfold, Bennett and Pinkerton.
Greater Kansas City Championship
In place of the city tournament usually held, the season of 1915 was
opened with an invitation event upon the courts of the Kansas City Athletic
Club. A classy field of forty-four players, the cream of Kansas City's tennis
talent, was entered. Cannon, Wester. Lockhorn and Holcomb reached the
semi-finals. Cannon by defeating Austin, Seddon and Masters ; Wester by
defeating Parker and Moore ; Lockhorn by defeating Penfold, Brookfield and
Uhls, and Holcomb by defeating Krebs, Poteet. and Teachenor.
Cannon then easily defeated Wester in straight sets, and Lockhorn, after
dropping the first set to Holcomb, won the next three. The final round
between Lockhorn and Cannon was played upon a wet, heavy court, which
seemed to interfere with Cannon's game more than that of his opponent,
Lockhorn winning the match in straight sets. The summary :

196 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
Omaha City Championships
By R. R. Rainsy, Omaha, Neb.
The annual city championship tournament in men's singles and doubles was
held on the courts of the Omaha Field Club. July 17 and the following week.
The committee in charge was particularly fortunate in choosing this week, for
weather conditions were ideal for tennis.
In the singles there were fifty-one entries, with few defaults in the first
round. The tournament was one of the most successful city tournaments ever
held in Omaha, and was noteworthy in that it marKed the fall of the older
players before the onslaught of the youngsters.
Arthur Scribner. one-time champion of Omaha, was put out of the running
by Joe Adams, one of the younger players. Dr. Van Camp, one of the old
timers, went down before Russell Larmon, an eighteen-year-old boy, who won
the championship by putting out Harry Koch, who held the title for four
successive years.
The match between Koch and Larmon proved to be the best ever pulled off
by local men. It went four gruelling sets and abounded in all the thrills that
go with first class tennis.
Sixteen teams fought for the doubles championship. Many good matches
were played and the dope was considerably upset. Ralph Powell and Will
Adams, the 1914 champions, were defeated by the Larmon brothers. Ken-
nedy and Madden, a veteran team, and considered one of the best in the city,
fell before A. C. Potter and Guy Beckett, who played together for the first
time. Their match was the most hotly contested in the doubles. In the final,
Koch and Scribner won from Potter and Beckett in an exciting and hotly con-
tested battle. The summaries :

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 197
Denver City Tournament
The second annual tournament for the championships of Denver, held on the
•city park courts during the last two weeks in July, proved to be one of the
most successful tennis meets ever pulled ofiE in the West. In popular interest
it surpassed even the State tournament, though the tennis was not of quite so
high a caliber. Crowds of two and three hundred turned out every afternoon,
and as many as six hundred lined the courts for some of the more important
matches.
Eight different events were decided, namely, singles and doubles in men's,
women's, junior men's, and junior women's classes.
The open singles title went to Richard Scott, the University of Colorado
«tar, but only after the hardest kind of competition. Three times, against Don
Harker, E. R. Bailey and Robert Wellington, Scott was forced to take the
deciding set to win, and against Wellington he was four times within a single
point of losing the match.
Scott won from Eugene Dines in the final round, in a match which proved
a disappointment after the earlier rounds. The champion took straight sets,
•due mainly to Dines' erratic play.
Harker and Wellington won the open doubles, defeating Mills and Fowler in
four sets in one of the most thrilling matches ever played around Denver. For
three sets it was nip-and-tuck, with each team winning a set when within a
point of losing. In the fourth frame Mills and Fowler showed the strain of
the match and the champions won easily.
Mae Meyer, playing a smashing base line game, won the women's singles.
:She came through several close matches and took the final from Addie Cronan
in an extra set affair. Paired together, the two won the doubles title without
much opposition.
Eric Charles, sixteen years old, annexed the singles championship in the
junior men's division, playing a consistent, steady game, which marks him as
a coming candidate for senior honors. Klein and Barton, a South Denver com-
bination, outclassed the field in doubles.
The junior women's division was held for the first time during the summer,
and as a result the entry list was small. Ada Withington came out ahead in
the singles, while the Misses Waldorf and Huber took the doubles.
Hubert C. Charles, Denver City Clerk, headed the tournament committee,
and under his direction play went off smoothly during the tournament. He
also captained the victorious Anglo-American club team which came out vic-
torious in the city league series of matches held during June and July.
Huntingdon Valley (Pa.) Doubles Tournament.— W. J. Clothipr and W. A. Larned
were unable to repeat their victory of 1914 in the Huntingdon Valley invitation tour-
nament, beginning May 28, and they were defeated in the final round by J. J. Arm-
strong and W. E. Davis. In the men's consolation singles, A. S. Dabney defeated F.
M. B. Fisher in the final round, 6/1, 6/2, 6/2. The summaries: Doubles — First round —

Law^n Tennis in Cuba
Conde de Jaruco won the singles championship of Cuba in the annual tourna-
ment held at the Vedado Tennis Club, Havana, in December. He defeated
de Zaldo in a four-set match in the final round. Conde de Jaruco also captured
the doubles, with Martinez as partner. Senorita M. Ferran carried off the
honors in the women's events, winning the singles, the doubles with Senorita
Suarez as a partner, and the mixed doubles with Valverde.
The Vedado Tennis Club, from a very modest beginning in 1902, has become
a factor of no little importance in the development of sports in Cuba, espe-
cially lawn tennis. The club has just come into possession of a new building,
erected at a cost of $80,000, and has made application to the government
for an extension of grounds ad.ioining the building, so as to be able to enlarge
it and to erect new ones, which it is estimated will cost $100,000. The loca-
tion of the club is ideal, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico at the extreme end
of Vedado, a suburb of Havana. During the latter part of December, 1902,
and January 1, 1903, the first official tournament was held. Tournaments
have been held annually at about the same time each year, except this year,
when it is scheduled for April. Enthusiasm over the game has increased
so much that larger grounds have been necessary. The present membership
is 500.
At the time of the second American intervention, the late Major Butt, who
lost his life on the Titanic, was an active member, and many of the trophies
brought with him from the Philippines are treasured at the club. Major
Slocum and many other officials of the U. S. Army were members of the
organization during the second intervention.
Other athletic sports besides tennis are also encouraged. In 1905, 1907,
1909, 1914 and 1915 the club won the amateur base ball championship. In
1909 it captured the polo championship, and yearly since 1911 has been
winning the Varadero regattas for six-oared racing canoes, obtaining thereby
the Municipal* and President Menocal's prizes. In 1914 the club also won
from the other competitors the title of champion in eight-oared shells.

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 201
Lawn Tennis in the Philippine Islands
By E. S. Gee, Manila, P. I.
Lawn tennis and other sports in Manila have been unaffected by the war
and everything is about as usual. The interest in tennis is wonderful, and the
Filipinos are making rapid strides. In the tournament recently held at Manila
by the University of Philippines there were one hundred and live entries.
The Filipinos were defeated in the tournament for the championship of the
Orient at Shanghai. Suarez and Fargas were defeated by the Japanese team,
Kumagae and Kashio, in the finals of the doubles, 6/4, 6/3, 4/6, 10/8. Fargas
defeated Kashio in the semi-finals in singles, but. in turn, was defeated in the
final round by Kumagae, 4/6, 6/4, 7/5, 6/3. These Japanese players are play-
ing wonderfully well and have imitated Johnston and Fottrell, playing a slash-
ing offensive net game, while in 1914 they could only play from the base line
with any great degree of accuracy. Americans will remember that Kumagae
almost defeated Fottrell, when the Californian visited Manila in 1914, getting
two out of five sets. I would like to see them play now. I honestly believe
Kumagae could make the first ten in America.
Another tournament, like the successful one held under the auspices of the
Manila Tennis Club in 1914, is talked of for 1916. It is to be hoped that this
club, always the leader in events of this kind, will take the initiative and make
arrangements to bring some of the world's best players again to Manila.
Mr. Mikami of Mitsui Bussan Kaisha has stated that undoubtedly Kumagae
and his colleagues will be glad to take the trip ; several players from Honolulu
have indicated their intention to visit Manila, and if they are of the same
standard as the base ball team recently here they will certainly be well worthy
of consideration.

Junior Championships
National Indoor Junior Championships
Elliott Binzen of Fordham University won the singles, and James Weber of
Chicago, captain of Phillips Andover Academy team, with R. C. Rand of
Harvard I'niversity took the doubles in the first national junior indoor
championship tournament, held in the Seventh Regiment Armory, New York
City, from December 27 to 81.
Sixty youngsters started in the competition, and under the able guidance
of King Smith, the referee, the playing proceeded without a flaw, and the
tennis shown was commen<lable.
Binzen defeated Weber in the final roimd of singles by superior all around
play and better headwork. He outguessed the Chicago boy frequently and
adhered to a plan of campaign which was far too much for Welier. Binzen
was unusually steady for a youngster and Weber was just the reverse. The
Fordham student did not have the power behind his strokes that Weber did,
but he made them count for more by his accuracy. Weber got plenty of speed
into both his backhand and forehand drives, but it was this very speed which
proved his downfall, for often it made the ball carry out of bounds.
The final round of the doubles was an exhibition of individual prowess,
for neither of the combinations showed much team work. Weber and Rand
were opposed to Taylor and Binzen, and the victory of the former pair was
mainly due to Weber's brilliant play. Taylor was off his game, and Binzen
tried "to bear the brunt of the battle, but found It too much for him. The

Metropolitan Junior Championships
By F. B. Alexander.
The second annual tournament for the junior metropolitan title of 1915 In
singles and doubles, for boys under eighteen years old, was started on the
courts of the West Side Tennis Club. Forest Hills, Long Island. Monday. Sep-
tember 13. A record entry list of 107 in singles and thirty-six pairs in doubles
goes far to show the hold tennis has gained among the younger players. An
added incentive to the title was the beautiful bowl presented by Goddard Weld
Saunders, on which the winner's name is to be engraved each season. The
ages of the boys taking part ranged from young Salambier. nine years, to W.
Irving Plitt, seventeen. The standard of play was excellent and the develop-
ment of the strokes of the boys who had taken part the year before marked.
Charles S. Garland, the sixteen-year-old Pittsburgher. fairly demonstrated
his superiority over the other contestants, winning all his matches without the
loss of a set. L. Maxwell Banks of Brooklyn was his opponent in the final
round and put up stififer opposition than the score would indicate.
The doubles was won by Garland and W. Irving Plitt, the Newtown High
School captain, after a hard five-set match in the finals against Herbert W.
Forster of Yonkers and George P. Throckmorton, brother of the national inter-
scholastic champion. The willingness and desire of the young contestants to
aid in every way possible assured the success of the tournament, and the value
of this type of tournament is inestimable in the tennis game. The summaries :

Cleveland Junior Tournament
The Lakewood Tennis Club Junior tournament, held under the auspices of
the Cleveland Neics, on the fourteen dry courts of the Lakewood Tennis Club,
Cleveland. Ohio, was claimed to be the largest sanctioned tournament in the
United States in 1915. One hundred and sixty-four players entered the cham-
pionship singles and sixty-seven teams in the doubles. The tournament was
••oflacially sanctioned by the United States National Lawn Tennis Association.
While classed as a junior event, the majority of the combatants were pre-
paratory school players. The winner of the singles. .John Virden, was a mem-
ber of the University School 'varsity team. In the final round he defeated
Charles A. Carran of the Ohio State University, the Western Conference cham-
pion. The doubles was won by Charles Carran and Harron Andrews, who
represented the Lakewood Tennis Club. The champions and runners-up in
each event received silver cups from the News.
This tournament is said to be the largest annual tennis event in Ohio. The
1915 competition not only attracted Cleveland racquet wielders. but drew
heavily from nearby towns as well. The matches were witnessed by the
largest crowds, so it is claimed, that ever attended Sixth City net contests.
The tennis shown was a surprise to the talent. The boys put up wonderful

five sets.

R. Dornheim came off victors over Samuel Pennock and Richard Mevers of
Penn Charter, in the final round. 6/1. 6/.*^, 6/4. The winners were much

Philadelphia Junior Clay Court Championship
The tournament for the clay court championship of Philadelphia and dis-
trict, at the Cynwyd Country Club, early in September, was one of the most
successful tennis competitions ever held in the East. The age limit was six-
teen years, and the players ranged all the way down to nine years. Some of
the boys w^ere not much taller than the net. but many of them displayed nat-
ural strokes and good form that augurs well for the future.
The singles event was won by fifteen-year-old Thomas Brown of the Park
Hill Tennis Club, New York. He had two hard matches, one in the semi-final
with J. Reeve of Haddonfield. and the other in the final against J. Sharfsin of
Central High School. Sharfsin and A. M. Harris won the doubles very easily.
The officers and executive committee of the association deserve a great deal
of credit for not only inaugurating this event, but for giving generously of
their time in attending and refereeing the matches.
Much of the success of the tournament was due to Searing and Vaux Wilson,
two Cynwyd youngsters. They financed the affair and secured the entries.

District of Columbia Junior Championships
By Louis I. Doyle.
One of the pleasing features in and around Washington, D. C, during the
tennis season of 1915 was the District of Columbia junior championship,
revived after a lapse of twenty years, for players under twenty, of whom
fifty participated. This hereafter will be an annual event. The Dumbarton

this field, allowed the use of its seven courts on the beautiful club house site

Washington Junior State Championship
By H. C. Force, Seattle.
The junior singles event in connection with the Washington State champion-
ship, held on the courts of the Seattle Athletic Club, was remarkable for more
upsets and more long drawn-out matches than any other competition in the
tournament. In the first round Marshall Allen defeated Arthur Hurd, 6/0, and
was leading, 5/0, in the second set, when Hurd, who had apparently been suf-
fering from stage fright, recovered his nerve and brought the set up to deuce,
and later took the lead, but Allen finally won out. 13 to 11. In the third round.
In the semi-final and the final, Allen each time lost the first set and then pulled
out the match. Taylor, whom he defeated in the semi-final, won the singles in
1914. and was expected to win again, thereby capturing the Hurd cup. but his
defeat ended all hopes for the prize, as in 1916 he will be too old t^ enter as
a junior player. The summaries : i

Rocky Mountain Conference Tournament. — The Universities of Colorado and Utah,
the Colorado School of Mines, and the Colorado Agricultural College took part in the
annual Rocky Mountain Conference tennis tournament, held at Denver, Colo., May 22.
The Utah entries gave the event an intersectional flavor it had never before enjoyed.
The tournament narrowed to a contest between the Colorado and Utah universities.
In the doubles, Colorado's team, Richard Scott and Russell Wells, won in one of
the closest and most thrilling five-set matches ever seen on a Denver court. Utah
took two out of the first three sets and led at 4/3 in the fourth. Fighting for every
point, Colorado pulled out the set, 9/7, and took the deciding one, 11/9, after Utah
had been twice within two points of victory. Gibbs and Little of Utah won decisively
in singles. Both came through to the finals without the loss of a set, playing splendid
tennis. They did not play off the final round, but agreed to hold the championship
between tliem. Dennison of the Colorado "Aggies" proved the real surprise of the
tournament. He showed an exceptionally brilliant game, and upset the dope by
defeating Scott of Colorado in straight sets. Dennison promises to be a hard man
to defeat in future Conference meets. The School of Mines team showed the effects
of lack of practice, and was defeated in the first round. The courts at the School of
Mines had not been in condition for practice previous to the tournament,

of Manila, the center of the game in the Philippine Islands, were treated to a veritable
sensation when E. S. Gee, the champion of that city, who is connected with the Depart-
ment of Public Works of the Islands and who is in no small way responsible for the
advancement of the sport in that country, gave a thrilling exhibition of the "come-
back" article by defeating two of the United States best players, Clarence J. Griffin,
who, with W. M. Johnston, are the national doubles champions, and Ward Dawson,
ranked seventh among players of the Pacific Coast, one immediately following the
other. The fact is the local veteran, as they term Gee in Manila, had fallen back a
bit in his playing previous to the visit of the two American experts, but quite sur-

fastest tennis ever seen in Manila, defeating the local champion, 6/4. In the third,

skipped out of the court or smashed into tlie net. He dropped the set, 6/0. No sooner
had Dawson been disposed of, than Gee took on Griffln. He won, 6/1, 7/5, and the
time occupied in playing the two matches was two hours and ten minutes. The prin-
cipal point in Gee's play was its accuracy. His service was better than ever before.

TTniversity Heights Tennis Club Tournament. — The fifth annual open tournament of
the University Heights Tennis Club, New York City, opened July 3 and finished July
11. There was a record entry both as to size and class, which was probably partly due
to the fact that the United States National Lawn Tennis Association granted to the
club the North Side championship in singles and doubles, and partly to the added
attraction of The Tribune Challenge Cup, a handsome solid silver affair, to go to the
player winning the singles three times, not necessarily in succession. The draw
showed an even one hundred entries for this event. It was an exceptionally well bal-
anced draw, bringing together in the semi-finals Arthur Lovibond, last year's winner,
and Jimmie O'Neale, the Columbia base ball pitcher and last year's runner-up, both
members of the Hamilton Grange Club, in the upper half, and Abe Bassford, Jr., of
Hartsdale, and his erstwhile pupil, F. T. Hunter of New Rochelle and Cornell Uni-
versity, in the lower bracket. Lovibond repeated his success of last year in defeating
O'Neale, 6/1, 7/5, but Hunter proved altogether too strong for Bassford, who changed
his usual lobbing game and forsook the backline for the net, only to have Hunter
repeatedly find the side lines with his severe forehand drive in passing shots. The
score was 6/4, 6/1. Tlie final between Hunter and Lovibond was a heartbreaking affair
for the veteran, who, with the sets two-all and the games five to two in his favor,
found his strength failing in the face of the hard attack of his young opponent. Sev-
eral times Lovibond seemed about to pull it out, but Hunter finally won, and his will
be the first name engraved on the challenge trophy. The score: 6/4, 2/6, 5/7, 6/4, 7/5.
The doubles went to Lovibond and Steinkampf, the latter of Bedford Park. Their oppo-
nents in the final round were Hunter and Al. Ostendorf, also of Bedford Park. A
close match seemed assured, but Lovibond and Steinkampf won in straight sets, mainly
due to Ostendorf 's t, ildness; this in spite of the fact that Lovibond and Steinkampf
had already played a match that day, the semi-finals, which they Avere at some trouble
to pull out against Cliarles (^liambers of Kings County and J. Mersereau of the home
club, who took the first set from the ultimate winners, 8/6. The score of the final was
6/4, 10/8, 6/1,

Chicago, 111., May 27 to 31, C. A. Carran, Ohio State University, defeated MacNeal,

cess in the final round by defeating Bennett of the University of Chicago, 6/1, 1/6, 6/3,
6/2. In the final of the doubles. Gross and MacNeal (University of Chicago) d. H.

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 287
Annual Meeting of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association
By F. B. Alexander.
President Robert D. Wrenn called to order the thirty-fifth annual meeting
of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association shortly before 5 P. M.,
Friday, February 11, 1916. Many delegates representing clubs were present,
but not as many as at the meeting of 1915, as it was not expected any dis-
cussion would arise over the awarding of the national championships. The
afternoon session was devoted to calling the roll. The reading of the minutes
of the 1915 meeting was dispensed with and the usual routine reports of the
Secretary and the Treasurer were accepted. Reports of the special com-
mittees were then received, the most important of which was the one from
the Committee on Ways and Means of Popularizing Lawn Tennis. The reso-
lution as adopted is as follows :
First— The admission to membership in the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association of Park Associations, without dues and without vote, and under certain
other conditions, as set forth in proposed amendments to the Constitution published
in the call for the annual meeting.
Second— The encouragement not only of Interscholastie Tournaments but also
Junior and Boys' Tournaments, the winner or other chosen substitute participant of
each Interscholastie or Junior Tournament being eligible to take part in a Sectional
Junior Tournament, in which Section such Interscholastie or Junior Tournament was
held, and the winner, or other chosen substitute participant of each Section Junior
Tournament, shall be eligible to play in a National Junior Championship Tourna-
ment, to be held at the same time and place as the National Singles Championship.
To carry out the above the following changes are recommended:
(a) Change the title "Regulations for Interscholastie Tournaments" to "Regula-
tions for Interscholastie and Junior Tournaments" and change the Regulations
so they shall read as follows:
Colleges, Clubs or Park Associations, members directly or indirectly of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Association, may, with the consent of the Association,
give Interscholastie or Junior Tournaments.
Players in Interscholastie Tournaments shall be limited to boys attending schools
preparing for college.
Only players under twenty years of age are eligible to take part.
The winner of each Interscholastie or Junior Tournament (or, in the event that he
is unable to play, another participant named by the management of the Tourna-
ment) is eligible to take part in any one Sectional Junior Tournament, and the
winner (or, in the event that he is unable to play, another participant named by
the management of the Tournament) is eligible to take part in a National Junior
Championship, ' to be held at the same time and place as the National Singles Cham-
pionship. :,:
No dues shall be required by the National Association other than the regular dues
(if any) of the organization giving the event.
(b) Establish "Regulations for Boys' Tournaments" as follows:
Clubs, Colleges, Schools or Park Associations, members directly or indirectly of the
TJ. S. N. L. T. A., may, with the consent of the Association, give Boys' Tourna-
ments. Only boys under seventeen years of age are eligible to take part.
The winner of each Boys' Tournament (or, in the event that he is unable to play,

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 289
another participant named by the management of the Tournament) is eligible to
take part in any one Sectional Boys' Tournament, and the winner (or, in the event
that he is unable to play, another participant named by the management of the
Tournament) is eligible to take part in a National Boys' Championship, to be held
at the same time and place as the National Singles Championship.
The report of the Ranking Committee was adopted and three paragraphs
added to the Rules and Regvilations of Tournaments, which will be found on
page 318 of this Annual. Election, of officers came next. The meeting viewed
with regret the i-etirement of Robert D. Wrenn from the presidency and
gave him a vote of thanks for his indefatigable services. George T. Adee of
New York and President of the Country Club of Westchester was elected to
fill the vacancy. After this a recess was taken and more than one hundred
delegates and tennis enthusiasts participated in an informal dinner.
At 9 P. M. President Adee called the meeting to order. Routine business
followed. The various national championships were awarded again to the
West Side Tennis Club of Forest Hills, this time unanimously. The other
important tournaments were awarded as last season, with the exception ^hat
the Clay Court Championships were given to the Lakewood Tennis Club of
Cleveland, upon which Richard Kroesen, their representative, thanked the
delegates present in a distinctly original and flowery speech, which was
received with great applause. Three new Sectional Doubles Championships
were awarded : The Southwestern Association, the Middle Atlantic and the
Missouri Valley. The Davis Cup Committee presented no report on account
of the unfortunate conditions existing abroad, therefore there will be no
Davis Cup contest for 191G.
The much discussed amateur question was not brought up, all feeling that
unduly hasty action would 'he detrimental to the best interests of the game
and that it would be best to defer diseussion on this subject until 1917.

mencement, of each day's play by the Captains of the opposing Sides,

cerned, and shall not be altered except with the consent of two-thirds

have from time to time competed and who shall record their votes.

the net. and 30 feet from it. are drawn the base lines D E and F G
the ends of which are connected by the side lines D F and E G. Half
way between the side lines, and parallel with- them, is drawn th(
half court line I H, dividing the space on each side of the net int(
two equal parts, the right and left courts. On each side of the net
at a distance of 21 feet from it, and parallel with it, are drawn th(
service lines K L and M N.

2 9-16 inches in diameter ; and shall weigh not less than 1 15-1(
ounces, nor more than 2 ounces.
THE GAME.
3. The choice of sides, and the right to serve in the first game
shall be decided by toss; provided, that, if the winner of the tosi
choose the right to serve, the other player shall have choice of sides
and vice versa, or the winner of the toss may insist upon a choice bj
his opponent. If one player choose the court, the other may eleci
not to serve.
4. The players shall stand on opposite sides of the net ; the playei
who first delivers the ball shall be called the server, and the other th(
Btriker-out.
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 305
5. At the end of the first game the striker-out shall become server,
ncl the server shall become striker-out ; and so on alternately in all
le subsequent games of the set and following sets.
FOOT FAULT RULE.
6. Before commencing to serve, the server shall stand with both
;et at rest behind (i. e., further from the net than) the base line

imp before the service has been delivered, but the server may raise
le foot from (and, if desired, replace it on) the ground, provided
lat both feet are kept behind the base line until the service has
3en delivered.
Offlcial Interpretation of Law 6:
If a foot be lifted and replaced, there must
be no change of position that can possibly be
considered a step.
7. The service shall be delivered from the right and left courts
Iternately, beginning from the right in every game, even though odds
5 given or owed, and the ball served shall drop within the service
ne, half court line and side line of the court which is diagonally

Q does not stand as directed in law 6, or if the ball served drop in
le^ net, or beyond the service line, or if it drop out of court or in
le* wrong court. If the server in attempting to serve miss the ball
[together, it does not count as a fault; but if the ball be touched,
0 matter how slightly, by the racket, a service is thereby delivered,
lid the laws governing the service at once apply.
9. A fault cannot be taken.
10. After a fault the server shall serve again from the same court
'om which he served that fault, unless it was a fault because he
srved from the wi'oiig court.
11. A fault cannot be claimed after the next service is delivered.
12. The server shall not serve till the striker-out is ready. If
le latter attempt to return the service, he shall be deemed ready.
13. A service or fault delivered when the striker-out is not ready
>unts for nothing.
14. The service shall not be volleyed, that is, taken, before it has
)uched the ground.
15. A ball is in play on leaving the server's racket, except as pro-
ided for in law 8, and remains in play till the stroke is decided.
16. It is a good return, although the ball touch the net ; but a
?rvice, otherwise good, which touches the net shall count for nothing,

20. Either player loses a stroke if the ball touch him, or anythii
that he wears or carries, except his racket in the act of striking ;
if he touch the ball with his racket more than once; or if he tou(
the net or any of its supports, or the f/rouiid irithiu his opponem
court, while the ball is in play ; or if he volley the ball before it h;
passed the net.
21. In case a player is obstructed by any accident, not within h
control, the ball shall be considered a "let." But when a permane
fixture of the court is the cause of the accident, the point shall i
counted. The benches and chairs placed around the court shall 1
considered permanent fixtures. If. however, a ball in play strike
jiermanent fixture of the court (other than the net or posts) befo
It touches the ground, the point is lost ; if after it has touched tl
ground, the point shall be counted.
22. On either player winning his first stroke, the score is called
for that player ; on either player winning his second stroke, t]
score is called 30 for that player ; on either player winning his thi:
stroke, the score is called 40 for that player ; and the fourth strol
won by either player is scored game for that player, except as f(
lows : If both players have won three strokes, the score is calh
deuce ; and the next stroke won b.v either player is scored adr(inta<
for that player. If the same player win the next stroke, he wins t]
game : if he lose the next stroke the score returns to deuce, and
on until one player wins the two strokes immediately following tl
score of deuce, when game is scored for that player.
23. The player who first wins six games wins the set, except as f(
lows: If both players win five games the score is called games al
and the next game won by either player is scored advantage game f
that player. If the same player win the next game, he wins the se
if he lose the next game, the score returns to games all ; and so o

score of games all, when he wins the set. But the committee havi]
charge of any tournament may in their discretion modify this ru
by the omission of advantage sets.
24. The players shall change sides at the end of the first, thij
and every subsequent alternate game of each set and at the end
each set, unless the number of games in such set be even. It sha
however, be open to the players by mutual consent and notificati(

third and every snbsequent alternate game of such set.
*25. In all contests the play shall be continuous from the first
service till the match be concluded ; provided, however, that at the
end of the third set either player is entitled to a rest, which shall
not exceed seven minutes; and provided, further, that in case of an
unavoidable accident, not within the control of the contestants, a
cessation of play which shall not exceed two minutes may be allowed
between points; but this proviso shall be strictly construed, and the
privilege never granted for the purpose of allowing a player to recover
his strength or wind. The referee in his discretion may at any time
postpone the match on account of darkness or condition of the ground
or weather. In any case of postponement, the previous score shall
hold good. Where the play has ceased for more than an hour, the
player who at the cessation thereof was in the court first chosen shall
have the choice of courts on the recommencement of pjay. He shall
stay in the court he chooses for the remainder of the set. The last
two sentences of this rule do not apply when the players change every
alternate game as provided by law 24.
26. If a player serve out of his turn, the umpire, as soon as the
mistake is discovered, shall direct the player to serve who ought to
have served. But all strokes scored before such discovery shall be
counted. If a game shall have been completed before such discovery,
then the service in the next alternate game shall be delivered by the
player who did not serve out of his turn, and so on in regular rotation.
27. The above laws shall apply to the three-handed and four-
handed games, except as follows :
THE THREE-HANDED AND FOUR-HANDED GAMES.

every alternate game.
80. In the four-handed game, the pair who have the right to serve

all the subsequent games of the set.
31. At the beginning of the next set, either partner of the pair
which struck out in the last game of the last set may serve; and the
same privilege is given to their opponents in second game of the

Cases and Decisions
By Jambs Dwight.
OfftciaUy recognized hy the V. S. N. L. T. A.
I. A player standing outside the court volleys the ball or catches
it in his hand, and claims the stroke because the ball was certainly
going out of court.
Decision. — He loses the stroke. It makes no difference where
he was standing. The return is presumed good until it strikes
the ground outside of the court.
II. A player is str\ick by the ball served before it has touched
the ground, he being outside of the service court. How does it count?
Decision. — The player struck loses the stroke. The service is
presumably good until it strikes in the wrong court. A player
cannot take the decision uiK)n himself by stopping the ball. If
it is going to be a fault, he has only to get out of the way.
III. The service is delivered before the striker-out is ready. He
tries to return it and fails. Is he entitled to have it played over again?
Decision. — No. If he attempts to return the service he is
deemed ready.
IV. The striker-out calls "not ready," for a second service. The
ball strikes beyond the service line, and the striker-out claims that the
fact that he was not ready makes no difference, since a fault cannot
be returned, and, therefore, that two faults have been served.
Decision. — The second service goes for nothing. A player
cannot call "not ready." and then have the service count, or
not, as suits his interests.
V. A ball having been played over the net bounds back into the
court from which it came. The player reaches over the net and plays
it before it falls. Has he a right to do so ?
Decision. — Yes, provided he does not touch the net. He has
a right to play the ball at any time from the moment it crosses
the net into his court until it touches the ground a second time.
VI. A ball is played into the net ; the player on the other side,
thinking that the ball is coming over, strikes at it and hits the net.
Who loses the stroke?
Decision. — It is simply a question of fact for the umpire to
decide. If the player touch the net while the ball was still in
play he loses the stroke.
VII. Can a player follow a ball over the net with his racket, pro-
vided that he hits the ball on his own side of the net?
Decision. — Yes. the only restrictions are that he shall not
volley the ball until it has crossed the net, and that he shall
not touch the net or any of its supports.
VIII. A player's racket slips out of his hand and flies into the
net. Does he lose the stroke for hitting the net?
Decision. — Yes, if the ball be still in play. It does not mat-
ter if the racket be in a player's hand or not.
IX. A player's racket leaves his hand, but meets the ball and re-
turns it over the net. Is it a good return ?
Decision. — Yes. There is no law requiring a racket to be in
a player's hand when the ball is returned. It would unques-
tionably be a good return if the racket were held against the
ground by a player's feet, and the ball bounded back off of it.
X. A single match is played with a double net and inside posts. A
player touches the net beyond the inside posts, and claims that he
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 311
does not lose the stroke because there shoukl be no net more than
three feet outside of the court.
Decision. — He loses the stroke. The net where he touches it
is part of the supports of the net. He might, perhaps, have
objected to the arrangement of the net before the match.
XI. A player returns the ball. and. finding that he cannot stop
himself before reaching the net, jumps over it. Is it a good return?
Decision. — Law 4 requires that "the players shall stand ou
opposite sides of the net." and therefore the player invading
his opponent's court loses the stroke.
XII. A ball passes outside the post of the net and strikes in court.
Is it a good return?
Decision. — Yes.
XIII. A ball going out of court hits the top of the posts of the
net and bounds into the opposite court.
Decision. — It is a good return.
XIV. TTie service or 'the ball in play strikes a ball lying in the
court. Can it be returned?
Decision. — Yes, if it is clear to the umpire that the right ball
is returned.
XV. The server claims that the striker-out must stand in the court
Is this necessary ?
Decision. — No. The striker-out can stand wherever he pleases
on his own side of the net.
., -^y^;. ^ bystander gets in the way of a player who fails to return
the ball.' May he then claim a let?
Decision. — Yes, if. in the umpire's opinion, he was prevented
by an accident beyond his control. For instance, if the ropes
or the seats are allowed to be so near to the court that a player
is interfered with by them, the stroke should not be played
again, because the ropes and seats form part of the arrange-
ments of the ground. If, however, a spectator passes in front
of those s«ats, or places a chair nearer than the original line
and so interferes with a player, the stroke should be played
again.
■^VII. A player is interfered with as above, and the umpire directs
the stroke to be played again. T'he server had previously served a
tault. He claims the right to two services.
Decision. — The fault stands. A let does not annul a previous
fault.
XVIII. A return hits the umpire, or his chair or stand, the player
claims that the ball was going into court.
Decision. — Stroke is lost.
XIX. A player receiving fifteen serves from the left court. His
opponent claims a fault.
Decision. — It is a fault. The service starts from the right
court under all circumstances.
XX. At fifteen-all the server by mistake serves from the left court,
he wins the stroke and serves again (a fault), the mistake is then
discovered. Is he entitled to the previous fault? From which coui-t
should he serve next?
Decision. — Tlie previous stroke stands. A fault cannot be
claimed after the next service, good or not. is delivered. The
next service should be from the left court, the score being
thirty-flfteen, and the server has served one fault.
XXI. A player serves from the wrong court, he loses the stroke,
and then claims that it was a fault.
Decision. — If the stroke was played in his first service it is
312 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
simply a fault, but if he serves twice into the wrong court he
has served two faults, and lost the stroke.
XXII. The score is five games all, and the umpire directs the play-
ers to play an advantage set. The advantage game has been won,
when it is discovered that no advantage sets are to be played. What
is to be doneV
Decision. — The set is won at the eleventh game. It is no
part of the umpire's duty to decide on the conditions of the
matches.
XXIII. A player serves. He hears the umpire call, but cannot
hear what he says. He knows that the only two things that the
umpire should call are "fault" and "let." and that in neither case can
the ball be in play. He, therefore, does not return it, only to find
that the umpire has called "play." Has he any redress?
Decision. — ^Tno.
XXIV. The umpire calls "fault," and then instantlv changes and
says '"play." The striker-out fails to return the ball, and he claims
he was prevented by the umpire, and also that the umpire cannot
change his decision.
Decision. — TTne umpire should call a let and the service be
taken again.
XXV. A ball drops near a line, the player appeals, and the umpire
calls "play." The player misunderstands the call and lets the ball
fall. He then claims to have the stroke played again.
Decision. — The stroke stands.
XXVI. The ball strikes the ground close to a line; the scorer
scores the stroke against the striker. On appeal to the linesman, the
latter decided that the ball was not out. Which decision stands?
Decision. — The scorer has no right to consider a ball out
until the linesman has called to that effect, therefore, the deci-
sion of the latter must be accepted. The decision of a lines-
man affecting his own line is final.
XXVII. A return strikes the cord running along the bottom of the
net and bounds over. Is it a good return?
Decision. — Yes.
XXVIII. During play a ball is thrown into court, and the ball in
play strikes it or a player steps on it. May a let be claimed?
Decision. — Yes.
XXIX. The server's first service strikes his partner. Does he lose
the stroke or is it a fault?
Decision. — A fault.
XXX. A player serves a fault and it is then discovered that it is
his partner's service. Does the fault stand?
Decision. — Yes.
XXXI. In a four-handed competition one player does not appear
in time to play, and his partner claims to be allowed to play single-
handed against the opposing pair. May he do so?
Decision. — No.
UNOFFICIAL DECISIONS ON DOUBTFUL POINTS.
(From Lawn Tennis.)
Both of the opponents of the servers in doubles are strikers-out
alternately during a game. It is optional with them which shall serve
first, but they must serve alternately throughout each set
A player does not lose a stroke for striking at a ball that ulti-
mately falls outside his court, provided he does not touch it in
doing so.
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 313
If one partner of a double team strikes at a ball and does not
touch it, his partner still has the right to return it. A player or
different member of a team may strike at a ball as often as they
please ; it is still in play until hit.
A served ball is only a "let" if otherwise good, falling in the proper-
court ; a fault cannot be a "let."
The server must stand behind the base-line, within the limits of the-
side-lines of the court in which he is playing.
There is no limit to the number of "let" balls that may be made
on the service, and the server continues serving in the same court
until a good service is delivered or two faults are made.
The server must wait until the striker-out is ready for the second
service as well as the first, and if the striker-out claims to be not
ready and does not make any effort to return tbe second service, the
server cannot claim the point, even though the service was good.
If a player's racket touches the net after the ball has struck the
net, he does not lose the point. The ball is dead and the point has
been won and lost as soon as the ball strikes the net, and nothing-
which happens afterward can affect that point. If the ball knocks
the net against the player's racket the same decision holds good ;
it is simply a question for the referee to decide which touches the
net first.
In doubles partners must receive throughout each set on the same
sides of the court which they originally select when the set begins.
The first server is not required to receive in the right court ; he may
select either side at the beginning of the set, but must hold this to
the end.
A ball served with a sharp cut that bounds back over the net after
having struck in the right court is a good service. T'he point counts,
in favor of the server if the striker-out fails to return it. The latter
may reach over the net to return the hall, but loses the point if he-
touches the net in doing so.
A return made from one side of the court that passes outside of the
net and posts without going over them is still good if the ball falls
in the proper court.
The ball is always in play until it has struck the ground outside
of the court, or the net, or has touched the ground twice. The player
loses a point if the ball touches him or his clothing while still in play,
no matter whether he is standing outside of the court when the ball,
hits him. or not.
An officially recognized decision has been rendered that makes any
support of the net— the posts, the guy-ropes, or the centre fork — a
part of the net itself, and any ball hitting one of the supports and
still striking the right court is considered a good return (except on
the service). The posts are required to stand outside of the court,
and yet a hall being returned at a sharp angle from outside might
well be going in and still touch one of the posts.
A ball is dead the instant it has touched the ground outside of the
court, and the point must be scored at once against the other side,
no matter what happens after the ball touches the ground.
Consolation matches in America are always open to any player
beaten in his first match actually played. Winning by default before
defeat in the first actual match doe's not disqualify a player from
the consolation event.
The services must always come alternately from the right and left
courts ; if the server delivers the ball from the wrong court it is a
fault.
A fault cannot be played, and the striker-out has no option in the
matter ; it does not make the service good if he returns it.

adversary shall win in that round, unless said Competitor shall have
been formally excused for a definite period by the Referee.
19. In handicap matches the competitors shall be handicapped by
the Committee, or by a Handicapper appointed by the Committee.
20. The method of handicapping shall be by classes as follows:
GIVEN ODDS.
Class O — (Scratch).
Class Receives Class Receives
1 1-sixth of 15 10 1,5 and 4-sixths of 15
2 2-sixths of 15 11 15 and 5-sixths of 15
3 3-sixths of 15 12 30'
4 4-sixths of 15 13 30 and 1-sixth of 15
5 5-sixths of 15 14 30 and 2-sixths of 15
6 15 15 30 and 3-sixths of 15
7 15 and 1-sixth of 15 16 . .30 and 4-sixths of 15
8 15 and 2-sixths of 15 17 30' and 5-sixths of 15
9 15 and 3-sixths of 15 18 4i0
When two players in different classes below scratch meet, the su-
perior player shall start from scratch, and the odds received by the
inferior player are as shown by the annexed table No. 1. To use the
table, find in the diagonal line of figures the number representing the
class of the superior player, then travel along the horizontal column
until the vertical column is reached which bears at the top the num-
ber of the class of the inferior player. The odds specified at the in-
tersection of the two columns are the odds required.
Example. — If class 3 has to meet class 9, start from the figure 3
in the diagonal line of figures, and look horizontally until the vertical
column is reached beaded by the figure 9, The odds given at the point
of intersection of the two columns (viz, 15 and 1-6 of 15) are the
odds required.
When the difference between the best and the worst players en-
tered is great (say more than 30), it is desirable to handicap the
best players at owed odds. The players above scratch (i. e., owing
odds) should be classified as follows :
OWED ODDS.
Class Owes Class Owes
1 1-sixth of 15 10 15 and 4-sixths of 15
2 2'Sixths of 15' 11 15 and 5-sixths of 15
3 3-sixths of 15 12 30
4 4-sixths of 15 13 30 and 1-sixth of 15
5 5-sixths of 15 14 30 and 2-sixths of 15
6 15 15 30 and 3-sixths of 15
7 ,15 and 1-sixth of 15 16 30 and 4-sixths of 15
8 15 and 2-sixths of 15 17 30 and 5-sixths of 15

as for one-sixth, and one stroke on each of the others.
F'ifteen and two-sixths (15.2) is two strokes given on the same
games as for two-sixths, and one stroke on each of the others.
Fifteen and three-sixths (15.3 or half-thirty) is two strokes given
on the same games as for three-sixths, and one stroke on each of the
others.
Fifteen and four-sixths (15.4) is twcf strokes given on the same
games as for four-sixths, and one stroke on each of the others.
Fifteen and five-sixths (15.5) is two strokes on th« same games as
for five-sixths and one stroke on each of the others.
Thirty (30) is two strokes on each game.
Thirty and one-sixth (30.1), thirty and two-sixths (30.2), thirty
and three-sixths (30.3 or half-forty), thirty and four-sixths (30.4),
thirty and five-sixths (30.5) and forty (40), are three strokes and
two given on the corresponding games of each set, as in the fifteen
series.
OWED ODDS.
Owed (or minus) oddsi can also be used in exactly the same quanti-
ties, the chief difference being that the better player is required to
earn the owed strokes before he begins to score, while, in the case of
given odds, the poorer player is given his handicap before play starts.
T'hese owed odds may be used either in conjunction with the given odds
or separately. In order that the handicaps may occur as seldom as
possible in the same games, when two players meet, one of whom owes
odds and the other receives them, the games on which owed strokes
are paid differ from those on which the given strokes are taken.
Here is the table for owed odds :
One-sixth (1-6) is one stroke owed on the first, seventh, thirteenth
and every subsequent sixth game in each set.
Two-sixths (2-6) is one stroke owed on the first, third, seventh,
ninth and corresponding games in each set.
Three-sixths (3-6 or one-half) is one stroke owed on the first, third,
fifth and every other alternate game in each set.
SPALDING'S LAW>f TENNIS ANNUAL. 325
Four-sixths (4-6) is one stroke owed on the first, third, fifth, sixth
and corresponding games in each set.
Five-sixths (5-6) is one strolie owed on the first, third, fourth, fifth,
sixth and corresponding games in each set.
Fifteen (15) is one strolje owed on each game.
Fifteen and one-sixth (15.1), fifteen and two-sixths (15.2). fifteen
and three-sixths (15.3 or half-thirty), fifteen and four-sixths (15.4),
fifteen and five-sixths (15.5), thirty (30), thirty and one-sixth (30.1),
thirty and two-sixths (30.2), thirty and three-sixths (30.3 or half-
forty), thirty and four-sixths (30.4), thirty and five-sixths (30.5) and
forty (40), correspond to the fractions of fifteen, as do the larger
handicaps in the table for given odds correspond to the fractions of
fifteen in that table.
The simplest method for handicappers to pursue is to sort out the
entries for the event they are to handicap into classes according to
the relative skill of the players. Then select the class with the great-
est number of players in it and place them on scratch, handicapping
all of the other players either behind or in advance of scratch by
owed or given odds, so as to make all even at the odds.
In deciding upon each player's handicap, his ability as compared
with the scratch men should first be considered, and then as compared
with his nearest and furthest rivals in the tables of odds. Each
player might meet any of the others, and the object of handicapping
is to give him an exactly even chance, no matter whom his opponent
may be.
It should be remembered that it is easier to owe 15, or any fraction
of it, than it is to give it, and when odds of 30 are given, the poorer
player's score has already reached pretty near the end of the game,
and the difference between him and the best men must be very great
to give the latter an even chance, should they meet.
It is very unwise to give even the poorer players over 30.3 (half-
forty), and very seldom is it safe to make the given odds run higher
than 30. If the difference between the best and the poorest players
is very great, place the latter as far as necessary behind scratch, but
do not advance the former to more than 30, or 30.3 in the most ex-
treme cases.
HOW TO CONDUCT A TOURNAMENT.
A tournament committee should first of all be selected, with not
less than five men, and as many as possible practical workers who
have the time and inclination to closely look after the interests of the
club. At its first meeting, the committee should decide upon all de-
tails of the meeting. In selecting a date, it is advisable to choose
one immediately before or after some established tournament in tlie
neighborhood, for then the entries of those who are to play in the
other event can generally be secured.
Application should be made to the national governing body for
oflacial sanction for the tournament, stating dates and other particu-
lars. If any championship events are to be on the programme, official
recognition must be applied for before these titles can be of any value.
A printed circular should be issued by the tournament committee,
which should state plainly — (1) the name of the club and the loca-
tion of the courts ; (2) the date of the meeting and the hours of play ;
(3) the list of events, and the championship titles (if any) to be
competed for. with the prizes offered for each event; (4) the amount
of the entrance fees, and place and date for closing the list of entries ;
(5) the name of referee, handicapper and tournament committee ; and
(6) the time and place of the draw.
The draw should always be made by the committee in public and
due notice of the time and place be given to the competitors, so that
they may be present or represented when the draw is made. The
draw ihould always be made by the Bagnall-Wilde system. (See
'' Toornament Regulations.")
326 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
No money or its equivalent in any form should be offered as prizes,
for this would disqualify the players from future competition as ama-
teurs. Prizes should be silver, gold, cut glass, objects of art or other
souvenirs of this kind that can be marked or engraved as trophies.
It is preferable to have them marked before the tournament, although
lawn tennis prizes are frequently bought with the privilege of ex-
change, and therefore not engraved until after the tournament.
The committee should select a referee, either from among their num-
ber or outside of it. If handicaps are to be held, the referee may
also be the handicapper, or a sub-committee may be appointed for this
purpose. Should the referee be also a competitor, a substitute should
also be appointed to act for him while he is playing.
It is important to have enough balls, and only the best quality of
tournament balls should be used for matches. It is the custom at most
tournaments to allow three new balls with each match, but in play-
ing on dirt courts, the same balls can sometimes be made to do service
twice. Unless there are back-stops close behind the courts, it is also
well to have some small boys handy to act as ball-boys and "shack"^
the balls for the players.
The lines of, a tournament court should be marked out fresh every
day and, if easily obliterated, also between matches on the same day.
The courts should always be laid north and south so that one player
will not get more than his share of the glaring sunlight in his eyes.
There should never be a tree within shadow distance of a tournament
court either, particularly on the south side of the court.
Facilities must be provided for the players to dress, and it is a
good plan to appoint one member of the committee to attend to these
accommodations, and to entertain the visiting players and see that
their wants are attended to.
The draw should always be posted in a conspicuous place on the
grounds, where the spectators as well as the players can inspect it.
If possible a programme for each day's play should be made out in
advance, and due notice of all the matches of the day be posted up by
the draw each day. The courts should be numbered, and a certain
court and hour set for each match. One member of the committee
ought also to be assigned to getting umpires for the matches and
seeing that they are properly started.
It is customary to exhibit the prizes for a tournament at the club
grounds during the tournament, and it generally proves an attractive
feature to have them displayed on a table on the grounds, all duly
labeled so that spectators can see which events they are to be given
for. A refreshment tent is also an attractive feature at a tourna-
ment and the prizes are then displayed under this tent on the same
or a nearby table with the punchbowl. Lemonade, or tea, crackers,
cakes and sometimes small sandwiches are generally served to the
players and spectators uoder such refreshment tent.

How to Build and Keep a Court
Nothing is more important for the full enjoyment of lawn tennis-
than a satisfactory court, and none of the other accessories of the
game offers a wider variety. Many important considerations come up
even after the kind of court to be built, and the cost, have been de-
cided upon. No matter how much is to be spent on the ground, nor
what the surface is to be, the most important things to consider first
are space, light and drainage.
The back-stop nettings should never be nearer than fifteen feet to
the lines, and if good players are expected to use the court, particu-
larly if tournament matches are to take place on it, the space behind
the base-line should be 21 feet at each end. At the sides at least
6 feet, if possible 12 feet should be allowed beyond the side-lines for
doubles of each court. A well-appointed court for tournament play
should be centered in an unobstructed space of not less than 60 x 120
feet. Wire back-stop netting 10 or 12 feet high should surround it
at these distances from the lines. If there are two or more courta
together, there should be at least 12 feet between their side lines, and'
one netting can surround all.
In selecting a site for a court, a spot should be chosen where there
Is always plenty of sunlight, and where at no time of the day does
any shadow cross the ground on which the court is to be laid. Green
or black is a preferable background to play against, but any dark and
even color will do. A court should never be laid out with any very
light background within a short distance at either end. or close at
either side. Nor should a site be selected with a badly mixed or
moving background. Shade trees are useful near a court, only if their
shadow is a solid one, not constantly checkered by flecks of sunlight
glittering through moving branches, which constantly confuse the-
players. Never should they be allowed near enough to cast any
shadows on the playing surface.
One more cardinal point should be remembered. The court should
invariably be laid out north and south — never east and west. If this
warning is disregarded, the player at one end or the other will be hope-
lessly blinded by the sun.
The question of drainage is one of the most important considerations
in selecting a site of this kind. On the natural facilities depends
largely the cost of laying out a good court. If the natural soil be
sandy and well drained, or if it is on high ground which slopes away
near by, artificial drain pipes will not have to be put in, and this
saves much of the cost, but if it be thick clay that holds moisture long,
or on low ground with neighboring slopes that drain toward it, the
court will be useless for many hours after each rainfall unless artificial
drain-pipes are put in.
After the site has been selected, it must be decided whether a grass
or "dirt" court is to be built. If the natural sod is luxuriant and the
soil favorable for its growth, or if the court is not to be used enough-
to wear off the grass, a turf court will generally be found preferable,
but if the ground is to be constantly in use, the sod will wear off and
become "bald" unless there is space enough on the lawn to shift thfr
court frequently.
When good turf cannot be had or will not stand the wear, a substi-
tute must be found, and sand or dirt courts are most often used.
On well-drained land, one can sometimes cut away the top surface,
level the ground and roll it until well hardened and the court is ready
for use, but more preparation is necessary to build a permanent court
that will not be constantly losing its proper level.
For such a court the earth should be cut away to a depth of one
foot if no drains are required. After leveling it carefully with a spirit-
level, to be sure that the grade is right, a layer of six inches of broken
stone should first be laid and pounded down hard. Ordinary trap-rock
used for macadamizing roads is perhaps the best for this purpose, but
any broken stone, ranging in sizes from a walnut to an egg, will answer
328 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAT-.
the purpose. This should be covered with a three-inch layer of coarse
.gravel or fine broken stone, which should be thoroughly pounded and
watered for several days before being covered. Before any surface is
put on the court, the greatest care should be taken to see that the
foundation is perfectly level. Any holes or depressions that appear
irom rolling and pounding should be filled in before it is covered.
Every well built court should be graded either from end to end or
from side to side to an extent of not over two inches, which will
suflice to drain off rain water. If artificial drainage is necessary to
keep the court dry, drain pipes can be laid in the foundations of the
court about three feet outside the side and end lines, care being
taken whereby the pipes will tilt, following the grade of the court as
far as possible, thus allowing the water to run off. The best drain
pipes are six-inch stone sewer pipe, cut in halves, or stone gutters
used on tiled roofs, which should be sunk in the ground immediately
under the foundation of broken rock and filled with pebbles or fine
cracked stone.
The covering for a gravel or sand court should be not less than
three nor more than six inches in thickness, and of sandy loam and
clay mixed. The proportions depend on the quality of the clay. If it
is very binding and sticky, one part of sand to four of clay are pref-
erable, but tot the average ingredients they should be mixed about
eight parts of clay to one part of sand. When the court is finished, if
it is found to be too soft but dry, more clay should be added ; while if
it drains poorly and stays muddy too long after rain, or its surface is
too sticky for the player's feet, more sand should be added on the
surface. ■ When a court is finally covered, it should be thoroughly
watered and rolled alternately twice every day for two weeks before it
is played on at all, and any depressions or uneven spots corrected as
fast as they appear from the settling. After the first heavy rain
Btorm it should be gone over and releveled most carefully, for then
it is most likely to develop new faults. ^
The fine seashore sand will seldom be fotmd satisfaetOi'y fot* the
surface of a court, for it works loose too quickly under the players'
feet, and can only be made to bind when mixed with a largei* propor-
tion of clay, which will make the di-ainage more diffieult. as water
percolates very slowly through clay. If the soil upon Wfeich a Cduft
IS being built is very rich and worms promise to work througb to the
surface above and injure the court, it is well to lay a layer &i fine
cmders, those from a railroad engine preferred, between the foundatfOD
and the sandy surface layer. These cinders effectuallv prevent wornfis-
from coming through to the surface. It is also we'll to use coarse
sifted ashes mixed with the stones in the drain-pipes.
The construction of a grass court is less difficult, but varies much
more in process. If cost need not be considered, It should be built
by an expert, and will be laid on deep-laid foundations; if it is
desired to build an economical court on an available lawn which is
fairly level, the cost will not be heavy. The sod should first be care-
fully removed in squares of about eighteen inches, from a space at least
50 by 100 feet, cutting down to a depth of about six inches. The
ground should then be turned with a spade to a depth of eighteen
inches or two feet, and after all stones have been removed, and the
earth carefully raked over and leveled, it should be" packed and rolled
with a heavy roller. It cannot have too much leveling and rolling,
and the rolling should be kept up for several days with plenty of
soaking by rain or hose-pipe. Any inequalities which the heavv pres-
sure of the roller produces should be filled in or cut down before the
sods are relaid.
After the ground has been rolled sufficiently the sods should be
replaced. In doing this it is important to get the edges close together,
BO that no seams or open cracks can be found. These soda should be
relaid in the afternoon and well di-enched with water. The next day
the ground should be rolled again ; and this should be followed bv
alternate drenching and rolling for several days. Even when the
ground finally appears firm and level, the court should not be played
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 329^
upon until new blades of grass appear in considerable numbers. If
depressions appear, the sod at that spot should be lifted, fresh earth
inserted to the proper grade and the sod replaced, watered and rolled
till level and flat again.
Bad spots are often found where the grass is thin or where malignant:
weeds obstruct its growth, and in this case fresh sods should be
bought or cut elsewhere and substituted. Sometimes large patches of
ground must be renewed in this way, but it will be found much less
expensive if all the turf is bad to sow the new court down with lawn
seeds, and seeds will often help out thin spots in the grass if the
court is not to be used too soon after the sowing. It is better to make
a grass court In the fall whether it is to be sown with seed or sodded.
The winter storms will then settle it thoroughly, and after a little-
releveling in the spring it will be ready for use.
Grass seeds should be sown between the middle of March and the
first of May, or better yet, in the autumn, between the middle of
August and the first of October. It takes about 20 pecks of good
lawn seed to cover a space 60 by 120 feet. The sowing should be
gone over twice, the second time at right angles to the first. Clover
seeds should be avoided, as this grass does not wear well, and guano-
should not be used for fertilizing, for it tends to bring up coarse blades
in patches.
As soou as the young grass Is high enough to be topped, a scythe or
sickle should be used, being at first better than the mowing machine.
After the new grass is well hardened, however, the latter should be
constantly in use, never less than once a week, and in moist warm
weather nearly every day. With every precaution weeds are sure to-
appear, but these can generally be held in check by constant mowing.
TTie more formidable weeds, however, must be cut with a knife one by
one about an inch below the surface, and care being taken to remove
as much of the root as possible. A pinch of salt dropped on the cut
root will generally stop the growth. When the turf becomes worn in
spots a small shift in the lines of the court will relieve the pressure-
and enable the grass to grow again ; at the end of the season all of
the bare patches should be resown.
Once the court is finally built and ready for use, it must be properly
marked out. In every case, unless it be of grass, and the lines are^
to be constantly shifted to prevent bare spots, net-posts should be
permanently sunk in the ground. They should be not less than two
feet under the ground nor loss than forty feet apart.
A good dirt court should be swept, watered, rolled and freshly
marked out after every eight or ten sets of play, and oftener in very
dry weather. Instantly a depression is discovered it should be filled
In and rolled down before playing is continued, for it is almost as
dangerous for the players as the court to continue with it uneven.
A court should never be rolled in the condition the players leave it
after play. A player's heel raises a little lump ; if the roller goes over
this before it is swept down even again, a hard ridge results and the-
ball will bound unevenly from it. It should be swept over first, until
all the lumps are leveled down, before the roller is allowed on its-
surface.
One of the best sweepers is made of a heavy joist of wood with a
dozen thicknesses of old jute bagging or coarse cloth frayed out at the-
bottom edges, fastened to its bottom and trailing on behind it. This-
should be drawn over the court with a handle or rope several times.
If it is pushed, the groundsman's feet will leave tracks after it ; if he
goes ahead the sweeper will erase them. Before the lines are marked
out fresh, the old ones should always be swept off with a broom, but
if the broom is constantly used along the lines in a parallel direction,
it will gradually wear away little grooves in the court where the lines^
are and the balls will bound improperly from them. T"he sweeping
should be done lightly across the court, at right angles with the
lines.
A grass court cannot have too much care. It is advisable to wet it
thoroughly several times a week and roll it as often. It should bo;
330 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
watered at night, cut in the morning, and rolled after cutting and
before watering. The best way to repair a bare strip of ground is to
lay fresh turf, and this should be done in the fall or as early as pos-
sible in the spring. Good tough turf, laid in February or early in
March, will be fit for use by the first of June. In the early spring
grass roots both in new turf and old may be greatly benefited by a
good dressing of manure well worked in, but regular manuring should
also be done in the fall.
Worm casts are very bad for good tennis turf. Particularly in
fertile ground or after a storm, the little mounds will appear on the
sod, and if the roller passes over them or they are trodden down little
hard lumps are formed which spoil the surface of the court. The turf
should always be swept before rolling, and in rich soil every morning.
This scatters the mounds effectually. Where it is necessary to get
rid of the worms, lime water should be sprinkled on the ground. They
will then come to the surface and can be swept away.
When a horse mowing machine is used it is well to have the horse's
hoofs covered with soft pads to prevent their cutting into the turf
and leaving prints that affect the bound of the ball. The groundsman
at work on good lawn tennis courts, particularly when the turf is
soft, and always on a sand court, should be required to wear rubber-
soled shoes without heels.
Of the various other kinds of courts, namely, asphalt, concrete,
•cinder, etc., the asphalt is probably the better type.
The asphalt court is very hard and fast, giving the ball a much higher
bound than any clay or gravel court. Hence it has placed an additional
premium on swift serving, smashing and volleying. Aggressiveness — -
that quality which is absolutely essential for first string champions —
has therefore become part and parcel of the game in California.
Asphalt makes the attacking game imperative.
Although the asphalt court lacks many of the attractions of the
best turf and clay courts (being so very hard), it has its advantages.
If it is properly constructed, the cost of its upkeep is practically nil
•compared to others. Aside from freshening up the lines with paint
once a year and sweeping it free from dust and litter occasionally,
there is no expense of cash or effort necessary. Then, too, it can be
dried with brooms and mops within an hour or less after the hardest
rain. In Eastern climates snow could readily be shoveled and swept
off, and the spring thaw would never feaze it. Furthermore, the
asphaltum surface is perfectly true. No bad bounds, except on ancient
and poorly built courts.
The Fay Improvement Company of San Francisco, the leading court
bnilders on the Coast, have kindly supplied the following specifications
for the benefit of those who wish to install asphalt courts :
"The area of the court should be 60 x 120 feet. The ground should
be graded so as to have a pitch of at least 9 inches in 120 feet without
any crown whatsoever. The subgrade should be either rolled with a
small steam roller weighing two and one-half tons, or with heavy hand
rollers. Upon your subgrade place four inches of concrete, or if you
•can obtain good bedrock macadam, six inches of that will serve instead.
TJpon this, spread one inch of asphalt wearing surface, which should
be made of the following proportions : Asphalt having a penetration
of 70 to 90 degrees, 120 pounds ; powdered limestone or cement, 150
pounds ; fine sand, possessing not over three per cent loam or mica,
745 pounds. The foregoing quantities constitute nine cubic feet of
finishing material, covering an area of one hundred feet square and one
inch thick. Particular pains should be taken in ironing and hand
rolling of the asphalt so that there will be no roughness after the final
rolling. There should be two hand rollers used when the asphalt is
spread, one weighing about 600 pounds, followed by a lighter one
weighing close to 400 pounds. The rakers should work to a three-
quarter inch surface board in spreading the material. Should the sub-
grade be all loam or material that opens up and cracks, it would be
good to spread about two inches of sand before the concrete base or
macadam is laid."
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
331
Concrete courts should be laid in blocks, and have a possible advan-
tage over asphalt In a very hot climate, as they will not get soft and
spongy. The building of a concrete court should in most cases be left
to a first-class contractor.
Cinder courts are cheap and easy to construct, but have the disad-
vantage of being very dirty.
In regard to wood courts, which are becoming quite popular, the best
plan to follow would be to consult an expert court builder. Hemlock
and Louisiana cypress are usually the two best kinds of wood to use.
The life of a wood court is usually from five to ten years.
BOARD COURTS.

In regard to board courts, it is in the first place essential that they
should be firm and yet springy and made as near the ground, if out
of doors (which seems to be the popular method at the present time),
as possible. The foundation of a wooden court should be of heavy
beams, sufficiently so to prevent all bending or giving. The boards
laid on same should be not less than 1% inch in thickness in order
to obtain, the best results, and If a wooden playing surface is desired,
the boards should be laid % inch apart, which will permit rapid
drainage, and after having been laid, same should be painted green
with white marking lines. The best playing surface is secured by
having a flap of heavy canvas made by a sailmaker, which will be
of sufficient size to not only cover the court, but also extend at least
10 feet outside the boundaries of same. This canvas should be
stretched by method of rope passing through eyelets, with pulleys at
each corner of the court, by means of which the rope cau be con-
stantly kept tight. After the canvas has been laid and properly
stretched, it should be painted a grass green, upon which white mark-
ing lines 1^2 inch in width can be made. A canvas covering such
as this is of somie considerable expense, but with proper care, that is,
painting same sufficiently often during the winter season and storing
same carefully during the hot months, it should last for some years.
Wooden courts for inside play, that is, covered courts, should be laid
whenever possible on wooden beams, so as to get some slight spring,
and not on iron or concrete, which will render them so dead as to
make it exceedingly hard for the players' feet.

How to Lay Out a Tennis Court
-tD
As a double court practically includes every line to be found in a
single court, it is best to take flrst the measure for the latter. Hav-
ing determined the position of your net, plant in the ground, in the
line chosen, two pegs, 27 feet apart (at the points A and B in the
diagram). Then take two measures and attach their respective ends
to the pegs A and B. On the first, which will measure the diagonal
of the court, take a length of 47 feet 5 inches ; on the other 39 feet ;
pull both taut in such directions that at these distances they meet
in a point C. This will give one corner of the court. At that point F,
21 feet from B, put in a peg to mark the end of the service-line. The
other corner. D, and the other end of the service-line O, may be
found by interchanging the measures and repeating the process. The
same measurements on the other side of the net will complete the
exterior boundaries of the courts By prolonging the base-line 4 feet
6 inches in each direction, and joining the four new points thus
obtained, we can make the side-lines of a double court. It only
remains to mark the central line. This is done by joining the middle
points of the service-lines. If a double court alone be required, the
interior side-lines need not be prolonged to meet the base-lines.
Remember that in all cases the net-posts must stand at a distance
of three feet from the side-lines.

358 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNDAL.
What is New in Tennis
To the uninitiated this heading might be considered an anomaly
owing to the fact that with the improvements of last season the
Spalding line of tennis rackets and accessories for the court provided
everything that the enthusiast could ask for and the broad choice and
grade of prices placed the outfit within the reach of every purse. But,
again this year, gathering our knowledge of the various desires of our
lawn tennis customers from all parts of the United States, through
our branch stores, we have filled in their wants, and, not only that,
but have increased the efiiciency, workmanship and durability of our
standard line.
Confidence in oneself is the first essential of success, and in this era
of "preparedness." the confidence of the player in his implement is an
element that forms no unimportiant part in his individual victory or
vanquishment.
Although introduced last year after the full line of rackets for the
season had been placed upon the market, the instantaneous recognition
of its merits made the "Autograph" — the first of its kind — a real
sensation. Players who had heretofore thought the limit had been
reached in expert implements were loud in their praises of the new
"Autograph." In every way it seemed to fulfill all requirements that
could be possibly expected.
This year, however, we have gone further into the refinements of
manufacture, and the "Original Autograph" racket will vary slightly
from its predecessor, these variations being made to supply the
demands from players whose methods of play necessitate such changes.
Although, as before noted, the three types of the "Original Auto-
graph" are only a slight digression from each other, the general style
is identical, excepting that the frames of two of the models will be
beveled, while the third will be entirely unbeveled.
Model AA will be the full heavy frame (unbeveledj for hard hitters.
The player who desires a racket which will stand up and permit him
to vent all his surplus energy in hitting the ball and not be afraid of
a "debacle." as the French say, in justice to himself should own one.
The beveled frames, No. AB (with slight bevel) and No. AC (special
shaped bevel), are equally as good as the No. AA, but "springier," if
such an expression may be permiitted. To the pMyer who "follows
through" his stroke with the "golfer's swing," the added jump given
to the ball is plainly noticeable.
Three sizes of handles are made in the "Original Autograph" racket
— ^5, 0^ and 5% inches. The stringing is of the highest grade of
lamb's gut, and the work is done by the most expert stringers in the
Spalding factory. The reinforcemem of rawhide, both inside the
"bow" and outside the "shoulders," running down into the all-cedar
handle, just about doubles in strength the weakest point in the frame
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 359
of a racket. The handsome finish and polish, aside from the mechan-
ical part of the racket itself, will easily explain, our enthusiasm for
the "Original Autograph," which in beauty, workmanship and strength
cannot be surpassed. The price on any of these models is the same,
$10.00 each.
It is worth while to state here, while on the subject of rackets, that
a racket requires just as much attention as any other article of which
use is expected and accuracy required. While athletic implements in
general are subjected to "cruel and unusual punishimient," and manu-
facturers try to anticipate and allow for such usage, nevertheless an
implement, the most impoi'tant part of which is composed of delicate
strands extremely susceptible to atmospheric conditions, should have
at least reasonable treatment. A racket that i*' thrown, on the grass,
left out all night, played with during wet weather or at the seashore,
without proper gut treatment, does not come within the guarantee, as
any fair-minded person will realize. At the conclusion of play a
racket should be rubbed dry and when not in use should be covered
with a waterproof cover and placed in a press. The gut stringing
should be occasionally gone over with Spalding Tennis Gut Preserva-
tive, and especially at the seashore this compound should be used on
a racket.
While a recital of the fine points of the "Original Autograph" racket
has probably led us farther in space than contemplated, still the old
reliable "Gold Medal" line, which was the we plus ultra of racket
making for so long a period, cannot be foi'gotten. Among the models
embraced in this $8.0d series, even the most exacting and critical
player should be able to find a type that is satisfactory. And in the
general improvement of manufacturing, these rackets have not been
overlooked. Though the actual shapes have not been changed, they
have been improved with rawhide strengthening and supports. Model
B has been bound at the shoulders with light gut ; Models GMH, GML
and GMS are reinforced with rawhide. Model F ("All Comers") and
the old reliable OGM ("Hackett and Alexander") have been left
unchanged, with the exception of the binding of the shoulders with
light gut, in the case of the latter.
An innovation this season is the addition of two $6.00^ models, the
"Domino" and the "Eclat," which will be second only to the "Gold
Medal" models.
Excellent rackets, ones that were championship class only a few
years ago, are Models GX, DH and EH, which sell at $5.00, while
the "Tournament," at $4.00'; the "Slocum." at $3.50; the "Nassau"
and the "Lakeside," at $3.00i each; "Oval," $2.50; "Greenwood,
$2.00 ; "Geneva," $1.50, and "Favorite," $1.25, are all representative
of Spalding quality at their respective prices.

Again the Spalding Championship Hard Court ball has been unani-
mously adopted by the United States National Lawn Tennis Asso-
360 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
ciation for the Clay Court Chamipionships of 1916. Ever since the
inauguration of this tournament, in 1910, the Spalding ball has been
the one adopted. The majority of State championships also adopted it.
With a fully equipped laboratoi^y in the Spalding plant, in which each
lot of materials that go to make the Spalding tennis ball is tested, in
addition to constant experimentation, it is no wonder that the con-
sistent quality of the ball has made it a special favorite in tourna-
ments where uniformity of play is essential.
While the methods of manufacture and the selection of materials
are the fundamentals of a perfect ball, nevertheless its resiliency and
serviceaoleness are greatly enhanced when the shortest possible time
elapses between manufacture and use. The thorough organization,
working in unison, of the Spalding factory and selling outlets, pre-
sents a combination that makes for continual freshness in tennis balls,
thus assuring the purchaser that he is not receiving balls that have
been/ lying in stock for several months.
D D D
While the player devotes his efforts to attaining perfection, of style,
assisted by perfection of racket and ball, tournament committees are
just as much concerned with the further details that are rightfully
the duties of the club holding a tournament. The net, the court and
the minor accessories, which, while not apparently of great conse-
quence, go far toward removing confusion and making that smoothness
of running which characterizes successful management.
Of all the "props" or accessories the net necessarily is the most
important. For tennis clubs a new net. known, as No. 10-0, has been
added to the Spalding line for 1916. It is hand made, tarred,
48-thread, and has a galvanized wire cable. This n'et is made par-
ticularly heavy, so as to stand up under the wear and tear of con-
tinuous play. It costs $15.00. The standard "Championship" net, as
used in the National Championships last season, namely. No. 9-0, is
:also hand made, tarred, 30-thread, and is highly i-ecommended for
club and private courts. It costs $12.00. Nets,, grading dowTi in price
all the way to $1.25, are examples in their line of the standard of
Spalding workmanship.
Practically "useless one without the other" is the case of tennis net
and post, at least as far as tournament play is considered. The
Spalding "Championship" Posts, No. A, as used in the National Cham-
pionships last year, are examples of thorough construction, as befits
their title. Uprights are of heavy 2-inch japanned steel tubing, are
inserted two feet into the ground and are equipped with a wheel at
top. The ratchet for tightening net has a particularly strong leverage.
Triple-claw clutches, made of heavy wrought iron, hold posts firm,
with no shifting or shaking, and the tighter the net is drawn- the
more rigid the posts become. The price is $20.00 a pair. The same
style is also in use on the best concrete cou'rt&, especially in Cali-
SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 361
fornia. For this style of court the triple-claw device is omitted and
the price is $15.00.
As in nets, the price of posts gradually descends until a pair can
be bought for $1.5iOL
D D D
The other essentials and accessories for a well conducted tourna-
niient — umpire's chair, scoring tree, markers, tapes, etc., are all listed
in the Spalding Spring and Summer catalogue, which will be sent free
from any Spalding store (see list on inside front cover).
Backstops are a necessary adjunct of any court, but, strange to say,
the place where they are most needed, in public parks catering to
tennis players, will be often found sadly deficient in this most needful
accessory. Players are often obliged to chase balls, which should be
unnecessary, with consequent distraction to players on adjoining
courts, an.d frequently loss of the ball through unscrupulous spectators.
Indoor tennis is now played in every available building, especially
armories, in the large cities, where the floors must be kept in perfect
condition. The No. ID posts are made especially for indoor use and
consist of posts set into heavy bases which are sufficiently weighty to
hold them secure without fastening to floor. They cost $10.00 a pair,

362 SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL.
Clubs desiring information of any kind concerning tournaments,
methods of conducting same, equipment, how to lay out a court, or
any question that may arise concerning lawn tennis, should write to
the Spalding store nearest to them, where tiieir inquiries will receive
prompt attention.
WEARING APPAREL FOR THE TENNIS PLAYER.
For the tournament or club player white, as usual, is the correct
color. Our No. 150 tennis shirt has become so well known among
tennis players that it might be almost considered the standard. It
costs $1.50. White flannel trousers, $5.0i0, and imported white sox,
at $1.00 the pair, are in the same class. Higher grades of shirts and
trousers, in flannel and duck, may be obtained in the men's specialty
department of Spalding's Fifth Aven^ie store, New York, this depart-
ment being a distinct shop devoted exclusively to men's sport wear.
The "Broncho" belt is particularly adapted to the tennis player.
One pull, and it can be tightened or loosened at will, and yet it
cannot slip. Prices from $1.50 to $3.50 each, according to quality of
leather used.
Probably next to the racket a player's shoes are the most important
part of his equipment, and necessarily so, for an ill-fitting pair is a
handicap right from the start. A style that has found favor with
many prominent players is the Spalding No. BBH, which is ideal
for tournament play on turf courts, and fitted with officially approved
blunt spikes in soles and heels. It is high cut, with finest quality
kangaroo uppers, white oak soles and spring heels, and sells for $6.00
per pair.
For clay court use. No. AB is the most desirable style. It laces
all the way down to the toe, being just high enough to give support
to the ankle and yet not bind too tightly. High cut, drab calf.
Blucher style, with heavy red rubber suction soles. No. AB costs $5.00
per pair.
A canvas shoe much favored by players who desire something stronger
than the ordinary type of "sneaker" for clay courts is the Spalding
No. HH, which is really a high "sneaker" with an extra heavy sole
of best quality rubber. No. HH costs $2.25 per pair, and low cut, of
same quality — when it is known as No. H — costs $2.00 per pair.
In this connection it is well to call attention to the fact that we
also resole rubber soled shoes of our own make, the work being done
in the Spalding shoe factory where the shoes are made. This is a
convenience that is obvious, and one that other dealers are unable to
offer.
Tennis players who contemplate being present — either as contest-
ants or spectators — ^at the clay court chaimpionships on the Lakewood
courts (Cleveland) in June, or the National Ctiampionships, to be held
this year on the courts of the West Side Tennis Club, at Forest Hills,
Long Island, in August, are invited to make use of the Spalding stores

SPALDING'S LAWN TENNIS ANNUAL. 363
in both Cleveland and New York as their headquarters, A corps of
specially selected stringers will be on hand and no effort will be
spared to make Spalding service coequal with Spalding quality.
WOMEN'S TENNIS WEAR.
The prominence of women players in tennis and golf and in out-
door life in general has led to distinctive styles in sport apparel for
women. Sport suits, sport hats and sport wear have become a most
important part of the wardrobe of the present day woman. In our
Fifth Avenue store we have a fully equipped department for women,
in which may be obtained imported and domestic novelties that com-
bine style and appropriateness for the purpose intended. Sport suits
can be had ready-to-wear or made to measure by men tailors on the
premises, separate skirts, shoes, hats, sweaters of miany hues and tex-
tures, or great coats from Britain, most suitable for motoring on the
chill raw days that sometimes punctuate the summer months. Those
living out of New York will find very satisfactory service can be
obtained by correspondence. Address A. G. Spalding & Bros,, Women's
Specialty Department, 520 Fifth Avenue, New York.

FOLLOWING IS IMPORTANT
TO THE PURCHASER
It is not our purpose to re-
strict our very broad guarantee
in an arbitrary or unfair manner,
but as manufacturers we are
compelled to draw the line
against claims that are made
where stringing has broken or
frames have gone out of shape
through abuse or careless hand-
ling. A racket that is thrown on
the grass, left out all night, play-
ed with during wet weather or at
the seashore, without proper gut
treatment, does not come within
any guarantee, as any fairminded
person will realize. Attheconclu-
sion of play a racket should he
rubbed dry. and when not in use
it should be covered with a
waterproof cover and placed in a
press. The gut stringing of a
racket should occasionally be
gone over with Spalding
Tennis Gut Preservative.
^Always use gut pre-.
jServative on a racket

BETWEEN FORTY.THIRD AND FORTY.FOURTH STREETS. NEW YORK
A Standard Qyality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy.
Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a
Manufacturer to long maintain a Standard Qyality.
To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a
profit for the jobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditions
of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high list
price on his goods to the consumer. ,,,.,. , r
To enable the glib salesman, when bookmg his orders, to hgure out
attractive profits to both the jobber and retailer, these high list prices are
absolutely essential ; but their real purpose will have beeri served when the
manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured
his order from the retailer. , , , . /• • i \.
However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consurner, who
does not, and, in reaility, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices.
When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their rnisleading
but alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and
grapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts,"
which vary witK local trade conditions.
Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the nianufacturer
and the jobber are assured ; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices
to the consumer, the keen competition amongst the local dealers invariably
leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of the retailer are
practically eliminated. tt^ • i i • •
This demoralization always reacts on the meinufacturer. 1 he jobber insists
on lower, and still lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this
demand for the lowering of prices by the only way open to him, viz.: the cheap-
ening and degrading of the quality of his product. .
The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that 1 7 years ago, m 1 899,
A. G. Spalding & Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization |n the Athletic
Goods Trade, and inaugurated what has since become known as "The Spalding
Policy.
"The Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding
Goods are concerned, and the retail dealer secures the supply of Spalding
Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer by which the retail dealer is
assured a fair and legitimate profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and the
consumer is assured a Standard Qyality and is protected from imposition.
"The Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the
users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways :
First. — The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods.
Second.— As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in
purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw materials required
in the manufacture of our various goods, well ahead of their
respective seasons, and this enables us to provide the necessary
quantity eind absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Qyality.
All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply
consumers at our regular printed catalogue prices — neither more nor less — the same
prices that similar goods are sold for in our New^ York, Chicago and other stores.
All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Sr>alding Athletic Goods, are treated
exactly alike, and no special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone.
This briefly, is "The Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful
operation for the past 17 years, and will be indefinitely continued.
In other words, "The Spalding Policy" is a "square deal" for everybody.
A. G. SPALDING & BROS.
standard Quality
An article that is universally given the appellation "Standard" is thereby
conceded to be the criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar
nature. For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit
of currency, because it must legally contain a specific pioportion of pure gold
and the fact of its being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp
thereon. As a protection to the users of this currency against counterfeiting and
other tricks, considerable money is expended in maintaining a Secret Service
Bureau of Experts. Under the law, citizen manufacturers must depend to a
great extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices to protect themselves against
counterfeit products — v^thout the aid of "Government Detectives" or "Public
Opinion" to assist them.
Consequently the "Consumer's Protection" against misrepresentation and
"inferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the
" Manufacturer."
A. G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to "Qyality," for
forty years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout the
world as a Guarantee of Qyality as dependable in their field as the U. S.
Currency is in its field.
The necessity of upholding the Guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and
maintaining the Standard Qyality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvi-
ous as is the necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency,
Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other
consumers w^hen he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade-
Mark and all that it steinds for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic
Goods to assist us in maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by
insisting that our Trade-Mark be plainly stamped on all athletic goods which
they buy, because without this precaution our best efforts towards maintaining
Standard Qyality and preventing fraudulent substitution will be ineffectual.
Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of
" inferior goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration.
A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold
and a guarantee to protect must necessarily have higher prices than a manufac-
turer of cheap goods, w^hose idea of and basis of a claim for Standard Qyality
depends principally upon the eloquence of the salesman.
We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than
poverty in quality — and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Qyality.
